“After the Inyo County Sheriff’s Deputy arrived on scene and interviewed witnesses. it was determined that there had been an argument that escalated into a physical confrontation - resulting in an individual being struck, and a broken window.”

“Terence Michael Butler – a 65-year old man from Beverly Hills, CA – was arrested for misdemeanor assault, public intoxication and vandalism.”
