SALT LAKE CITY — Less than two weeks after he was formally accused of damaging a police building and an officer's vehicle, suspended University of Utah wide receiver Cory Butler-Byrd entered into a plea in abeyance Monday.
The plea admits guilt but is accompanied by requirements that, if completed, will allow the case to be dismissed at a later date. Court documents in Butler-Byrd's case don't specify what those conditions are or provide a timeline for when the case could be dropped.
Butler-Byrd was charged Aug. 9 in 3rd District Court with class A misdemeanor criminal mischief for allegedly damaging a campus building and a police officer's vehicle on July 27.
