On December 22, 2023, things got heated at Butler's place. Crystal LeBlanc came to talk to her husband Graig, who was already there. During the argument, Graig went outside, and Savannah Butler, holding a gun, joined in.
Amid the tension, Graig accidentally got shot in the hand while trying to disarm Butler. Unfortunately, the bullet also hit Crystal in the arm. Later, Chief Graig LeBlanc publicly admitted to having an affair and explained what happened.
In his apology, Graig shared the incident's details and expressed regret to his wife and everyone involved. Butler faced legal consequences, getting arrested for two counts of negligent injury but was released on a $22,000 bond.
The situation became more complicated when Captain Crystal LeBlanc received a trespass summons for entering Butler's home. Both Captain LeBlanc and Officer Butler are on administrative leave. Butler was told to return her police gear and stop all police-related activities.
