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.

The Netherlands were left to rue a missed stumping of Iqbal when on 46 by Wesley Barresi, as no other Bangladesh batsman managed more than 15 in their innings.Timm van der Gugten (3-21) starred with the ball for the Netherlands, the seamer bowling Mahmudullah (10) and Mushfiqur Rahim (0) in the same over.But the Dutch were unable to chase down Bangladeshs 154-run target, falling short on 145-7 despite scoring 16 from the penultimate over to take the game down to the wire.After the Netherlands won the toss and chose to field first, Soumya Sarkar was badly dropped by the fielder at third man in Mudassar Bukharis first over.It wouldnt prove to be too costly an error as Paul van Meekeren (2-17) picked up Sarkar - caught behind - for 15 soon after, while former South African spinner Roelof van der Merwe (1-28) added the scalp of Sabbir Rahman, also for 15, a ball after being smashed for six over long on.Bangladesh continued to lose wickets, with Shakib Al Hasan (5) falling to Peter Borren, and van der Gugtens double-strike in the 15th reducing the Tigers to 112-5.At the other end Iqbal went through to a 36-ball fifty in the same van der Merwe over as Barresis missed stumping, and afterr another couple of wickets fell, helped smash 15 from the final over - hitting his third six - to push the team up to a score of 153-7.ddddddddddddNetherlands got off to a slow start, stuttering their way to 21-1 in the fifth over when Al-Amin Hossain (2-24) picked up Barresi (9), caught at deep square leg.Stephan Myburgh - star of the 2014 tournament for the Dutch - and captain Peter Borren both hit 29, but failed to capitalise on their good starts, while the rest of the batting order offered little as the Netherlands fell short.Myburgh and Ben Cooper (20) bashed five fours between them from the next 12 balls to get their chase going, before Myburgh was bowled by Nasir Hossain in the ninth over to again derail the Dutch.Borren briefly threatened, and Bangladesh might have been worried when Nasir dropped him off Shakib (2-28) at deep midwicket with 44 required and 26 balls remaining, but two balls later Borren picked out Nasir again, who this time held on.Bukhari (14 off 5) smashed a four and huge six over long on in a wayward 19th over from Al-Amin, but 17 from the final over proved to be too tough an ask for the Netherlands, as Bangladesh held on for the win.Sky Sports is the only place you can watch all 35 games in 27 days of the 2016 ICC World T20.
