A Butler man charged by city police following a scuffle with officers that ended when they used a Taser to subdue him pleaded guilty to a summary charge of disorderly conduct under an agreement reached at his preliminary hearing Monday.

District Judge William Fullerton sentenced 27-year-old Brian H. Sharpe to time served — 17 days in the Butler County Prison. There was no other penalty.

In exchange for Sharpe's plea, prosecutor Terri Schultz, a county district attorney, agreed to withdraw a misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest. She later declined to comment on the decision.

Sharpe appeared without an attorney in his prison garb. Upon questioning by Fullerton, he said he understood the plea agreement.

Police said they found Sharpe on Feb. 6 after they got multiple calls for a man screaming outside a home on the 200 block of South Church Street.

It was unclear why Sharpe was there, but he was reportedly involved in an argument with a woman. According to charging documents, he was upset “that the other party had his noodles.”

At one point, Sharpe reportedly yelled that “if he could have his noodles, he would leave.”

It was also unclear, police said, what the defendant meant by “noodles.”

Police subsequently learned there was a bench warrant for Sharpe. When officers advised him he was under arrest, police said he pulled away, took an “aggressive stance” and began scuffling with an officer.

Police eventually deployed a Taser and arrested him without further incident. He was placed in the prison that day on $5,000 bond for the charges, and remains jailed on a probation violation.
