SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- A South Bend Police Department officer made his first appearance in court on Monday after he was arrested over the weekend on two counts of Child Seduction.

Butler has been removed from his duties as an officer pending further investigation.
ABC57’s Ryan Jaghab is live outside the South Bend Police Department tonight at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. with more.
