Marshall running back Steward Butler was charged in the beating of two gay men Wednesday and dismissed from the team. Butler was arraigned before a Cabell County magistrate on two misdemeanor battery counts Wednesday and was released on $10,000 bond. Huntington police Detective Chris Sperry said in criminal complaints that Butler got out of a car after seeing the men kissing on a street on April 5 in Huntington. Sperry said Butler allegedly then began shouting derogatory words about their sexual orientation and punched the men.
