Eric Knysz guilty as charged in murder of Michigan State Police Trooper Paul K. Butterfield II The Muskegon Chronicle by John Hausman


A hero remembered – never forgotten… End of watch in a traffic stop around 6:20 p.m. Sept. 9, 2013, on Custer Road north of Townline Road in rural Mason County’s Freesoil Township, Michigan… Law enforcement today remembers a comrade in arms, Michigan State Police Trooper Paul K. Butterfield II. We thank him for his service. May he and his family now rest in peace as others carry-on his watch…

Justice has been served in the case of the cop-killer who took the life of Michigan State Police Trooper Paul K. Butterfield II; but it does not ease the pain or bring him back… Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of Trooper Butterfield…
