According to an affidavit, Bartlesville police responded to a call on the 800 block of Colony Way in Bartlesville on Sunday. The reporting party was a male victim claiming that Butler punched him in the mouth, pushed him to the ground and began strangling him.

The victim had a cut of his lower lip and red marks on both sides of his neck. He says that Butler was wearing all black and had a backpack before he left the residence. The defendant was later obtained near a business on Madison Boulevard.

The district attorney’s office advised that Butler was being charged for a domestic incident for the third time. Bond was set at $25,000 with a condition of no contact with the alleged victim.
