I happen to know Bryce Butler. I knew he had been struggling with addiction for quite some time. I feel horrible because he is a wonderful kid, drug addict or not. He has a heart of gold and always has a smile on his face and is willing to help another in need. It is sad that this is the fate of a struggling addict, being arrested and taken to jail. Especially one such as Mr. Butler who has never harmed a fly. It makes me truly sad that this is what our justice system has come to. He is a wonderful kid with a wonderful family and I truly wish him the best of luck.
