Vernon Butler accused of assault


Lumps

Recommended Posts

Summary: Vernon Butler reportedly got turned down from woman from instagram for her number. Woman claims he pushed her down some stairs. Attorney says security escorted her out of Butler’s party. Investigation on-going. Class C assault charge.

Again, like in Reuben Foster and LeSean McCoy’s case, it’s best to wait it out and let him be innocent until proven guilty. 

EDIT: @KB_fan brings this up:

this thread is gonna be interesting that's for sure.

 

based on what I've seen of Butler, I can see it. He's had plays where he's acted on emotion over logic and got extra after plays were done.

"The woman said Butler asked her for her number in a nightclub and she refused, and he then threw ice at her face, and pushed her out of the VIP section. She said she fell down the stairs, and he pushed her a second time, leaving her with a bruise on her face. She was then escorted from the club."

There were almost certainly witnesses. Here we go.

Yeah, or hidden security cameras. This is the type of thing that would be easy to confirm or deny with video footage. Pretty sure at least some hotels/apartments hide cameras in stairwells.

 

If it's true he should never play a game for us again

    • FA may or may not be the best option each time. You know as well as I do that the LT is the highest paid position on offense behind QB and WR. If you have cap concerns, it would be better to draft a quality LT and hold him for 3-4 years before you have to sign him to a long term (and expensive 2nd contract). I wouldn't want to acquire a run stuffing DT in FA if I could get a younger one much cheaper in the draft.  Let's say no good Safties are on the market when prior to drafting. Once again you'd go to the draft. FA is a good way to feel out the roster prior to the draft, but it's possible to REACH there too. FO's usually end up over playing guys (at least at certain positions) who have already peaked. Besides, you always have to consider that the team that let them go didn't think they were worth the price they were asking to retain them. That certainly applies to our defense. We could draft the BPA at any level of our defense and immediately improve our team. A stud on the line beside DB would help the the run and pass defense. Our LB core needs a thumper/impact player at any position. We need another CB to play alongside JC. We have yet to see a Safety on our roster significantly impact a game this year.
    • Maybe Rod will change it up and slot Bussi in net. Why risk the inevitable injury to Freddie this early in the season against a team that will likely win regardless.  Just show up and play to win, that's all I ask. 
    • Well, I feel the same way about pharmaceutical, junk/fast food and political ads. They all cause active and KNOWN harm to the populace but we are the penultimate corrupt Western country, so that's just where we are as a society.
