Officers use stun gun to subdue Notre Dame linebacker after he 'attacked cop'

Notre Dame cornerback Devin Butler was jailed on Saturday after a police officer said the player punched and slammed him to the ground outside a bar.

Five teammates were arrested in a separate incident when a trooper found marijuana and a loaded handgun inside their car during a traffic stop.

Officers had to use a stun gun to subdue Butler in the altercation outside the Linebacker Lounge in South Bend, according to a probable cause affidavit.

South Bend police spokesman Lt. Joe Galea said after officers broke up a fight inside the bar, they saw two women fighting outside when Butler allegedly shoved one of the women.

Butler was agitated and when officers told him to back away, he allegedly pushed the officers and then attacked one of them.

While we're on the topic of infrastructure,let's build 50 new prisons.One in each state.The US judicial system is already the largest BUSINESS on planet Earth.Harness crime since it will never go away.Make it work FOR us and not against us.Contract prisoners out to other countries and allow them to get in on the profit as well.

What's this have to do with an oversized, over privileged, drunken oaf getting a well deserved zapdown?

It wasn't like they shot him, after he attacked the cop,
