Former Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler charged with DUI

Malcolm Butler, the former Patriots cornerback responsible for one of the most iconic plays in franchise history, was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol earlier this month.

Butler was stopped by a police officer while driving a Mercedes-Benz E300 on Mineral Spring Avenue in North Providence, Rhode Island, just after 3:20 a.m. on March 16, according to a police report. The car was seen blocking traffic and appeared to have just exited Route 146.

Butler reportedly told the officer that he was coming from a studio in Providence where he was making music.
