The girlfriend of Devin Butler is disputing the police account of the suspended Notre Dame cornerbacks arrest Saturday, saying he was abused and wrongly arrested.Haleigh Bailey told the South Bend Tribune on Thursday that she was at the South Bend bar where Butler allegedly tackled a police officer and punched him during an altercation.I was there that entire night, Bailey wrote in a message to the Tribune. Reports say that everyone left the scene but I was still there and saw everything officers did to Devin.He was abused, and wrongly arrested. He never tackled an officer and he never intentionally hurt anyone. He had no reason to be tazed because he was never resisting arrest, and he was already on the ground complying when they tazed him.Butler faces felony counts of resisting law enforcement and battery against a public safety official. A not-guilty plea was entered on his behalf Wednesday, and an initial hearing is set for Sept. 1.Coach Brian Kelly indefinitely suspended Butler from the Fighting Irish. Butler was already slated to be out until October with a broken foot.In her comments to the Tribune, Bailey highlighted Butlers broken foot as a reason he would have been unable to tackle officer Aaron Knepper, who was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.Reports say that Devin did all of these aggressive things, but in reality, he was grabbed by the police from behind and never told who was grabbing him or why they were grabbing him, Bailey wrote. Devin felt he was doing the right thing but out of nowhere was arrested for simply stopping an argument. He felt he had no reason to be detained.Police reported that Butler shoved a woman during a fight between two women outside the bar. A fiancée of another Notre Dame player told the Tribune that was incorrect as well.I dont know who theyre trying to reference him hitting or pushing, because he didnt do that to anyone, said Selina Bell, who is engaged to wide receiver Torii Hunter Jr.?But he was holding his girlfriend and protecting her. He 100 percent never hit her, pulled her, pushed her, grabbed her forcefully at all.Butlers attorney Jeff Kimmell told the Tribune in an email that several witnesses to the incident claim that officer Kneppers account of the events is extraordinarily inaccurate. Currently, I have a private investigator seeking out any existing video coverage of what actually happened.Information from The Associated Press contributed to this report.Reggie Jackson Jersey . -- The goal posts lying flat on the field, Arizonas fans lingered on the field, congregating around the locker room entrance nearly 30 minutes after rushing out of the stands.

The 19-year-old Matthews was still tied for second Tuesday among all rookies in scoring (12 points), four points behind Patrik Laine.But Matthews has no goals and two assists in the past nine games and Babcock is using video of Crosby and Zetterberg to do some tweaking with his young star.In one-on-one sessions, Babcock showed Matthews how Zetterberg, the long-time Red Wings star, gets the puck back just by standing in the right places defensively. He showed Matthews how when Crosby got the puck, he lured the defense out of position and then didnt hesitate to make a play.Babcock has seen subtle adjustments from Matthews over the past couple weeks, particularly in the faceoff circle. The Arizona native won 43 percent of the draws in the opening five games, 53 percent inn the following five and 61 percent in the last five.ddddddddddddWhat hes telling you already is he likes having the puck, Babcock said. Hes sick and tired of chasing it already. So then the next thing hes going to figure out if he stops in the right places on defense and puts his stick in the right place, the offensive players are going to keep giving it back to him and then his skill-set is going to come out.But the hardest part for a kid when you come in the National Hockey League is you never get the puck.Matthews said he believes hes grown stronger defensively in recent weeks. He also leads Toronto with 58 shots, though he last scored Oct. 25 against Tampa, a string of nine games.In our situation we need him to be a dominant, dominant center for us, Babcock said. We think hes going to be by Christmas time. We think hes a very good player already. But we think he can be lights out both with and without the puck. ' ' '
