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.

Wonder if there were any witnesses?

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

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
