Notre Dame cornerback Devin Butler pleaded guilty Monday to a lesser misdemeanor charge of resisting law enforcement stemming from his arrest in August after an altercation with a police officer.Butler, 21, agreed to a plea bargain in exchange for the two felony charges being reduced and dropped, respectively.The St. Joseph County prosecutors office said the decision was based on a review of the totality of the circumstances, which included Butlers remorse since the time he was arrested, along with his acknowledgement that the officers on the scene conducted themselves appropriately.Butlers sentencing was delayed one year while he completes a pretrial diversion program. If he successfully completes the program, the charge would be dismissed.The resisting law enforcement charge that Butler pleaded guilty to is a Class A misdemeanor. He had been previously charged with a Level 6 felony of resisting law enforcement and a Level 6 felony of battery against a public safety official.Butler was suspended from the Irish indefinitely following his arrest Aug. 20 outside the Linebacker Lounge, an off-campus bar. His girlfriend and another eyewitness had previously disputed the police account of the arrest to the South Bend Tribune.A school official said Monday that there is no change in Butlers status with the team following his guilty plea to a lesser charge.The officer who had arrested Butler, Aaron Knepper, had been named as co-defendant in three separate lawsuits since 2012 that accused him of using excessive force and violating civil rights, according to reports.South Bend police Chief Scott Ruszkowski had said Friday that there was no wrongdoing in Butlers arrest and that he would not refer the case to the Board of Public Safety. An internal investigation had been opened, Ruszkowski said, because of the large public interest in the case.Butler wrote a letter of apology Monday to Knepper, saying that he was initially trying to separate others in a fight but understood how Knepper and other officers could have reasonably perceived Butler to be the aggressor.A Washington, D.C., native, Butler had been expected to miss the first month of this season with a broken left foot that had been re-injured during the summer. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Butler appeared in 37 games and started three for the Irish, with 39 tackles, six pass breakups, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one interception.

SAN ANTONIO -- Rockets coach Mike DAntoni said he expects guard Patrick Beverley to miss the first 20 games of the season with a left knee injury.Multiple sources said nothing has been decided regarding possible surgery. Beverley is scheduled to see another doctor in next couple of days.Beverley has played in just one preseason game before he suffered irritation in the knee.Losing Beverley is a blow to the Rockets hopes to start him alongside James Harden. But now Eric Gordon most likely will take over as the shooting guard.Based on the Rockets schedule, the earliest Beverley could return is the first week of December.DAntoni and his staff have to make decisions on whether to keep an extra guard on the roster. Pablo Prigioni is the backup point guard to Harden but if Beverley is healthy there might not be a neeed to keep another guard.ddddddddddddAntoni is looking at Tyler Ennis, whom the Rockets acquired in a trade with Milwaukee in September, and Bobby Brown as the extra guard. DAntoni could also go with a power forward and Kyle Wiltjer seems to be the favorite unless the Rockets claim another player off waivers.It complicates things, I hate it for Pat because he works so hard to get ready, DAntoni said after the Rockets lost their final preseason game, 114-99, to the Spurs. His weight was great and so on one hand I hate it for him and on the other hand, I hate it for us a lot.The first 20 games is tough, and it would be nice to have him. Hell be back, so you just make sure hes healthy. ' ' '
