Utah wide receiver Cory Butler-Byrd was suspended last week for what Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham then called "personal reasons". On Wednesday, the Salt Lake Tribune was able to shed more light on the situation, saying the suspension occurred after Butler-Byrd was arrested for criminal mischief after "damaging a University Police vehicle and patrol building".
From the Tribune:
After arresting him, the officers saw that one of the building's windows was broken. Butler-Byrd told them he had thrown a piece of wood at the window, which shattered it.
One of the officers also noticed that the rear window of his patrol car had been shattered, and the roof had a "large dent" in it. Video footage showed a man jumping on the roof of the car — something police said Butler-Byrd also admitted to.The officers released Butler-Byrd afterward. The damage is estimated to exceed $500.

Jumping on top of a patrol car? Yes, that is definitely a new one to the world of college football arrests. The Tribune reports that Butler-Byrd is scheduled to appear in court on September 13.
Butler-Byrd was expected to be a bigger part on offense this season for the Utes. He played mostly on defense in 2015, where he recorded 30 total tackles and three interceptions.
