Butler is different from most DeKalb County communities because it has an active DeKalb/Butler City Court. The Indiana Judicial Branch lists the court as an active Odyssey court, and the current Indiana court directory lists its Butler location and phone number. (Government of India)
That means a driver who receives a traffic ticket in Butler should check the citation carefully before assuming the case belongs in DeKalb Superior Court I.

Where Do Butler Traffic Tickets Go?
Butler is the key exception in this first batch of DeKalb County cities because the county has an active DeKalb/Butler City Court.
The Indiana Judicial Branch lists DeKalb/Butler City Court as court code 17H01 and confirms that it uses Odyssey. (Government of India)
The DeKalb County government directory lists:
DeKalb/Butler City Court
120 West Main Street Butler, IN 46721 Phone: 260-868-2441 (DeKalb County)
The current Indiana court directory provides the same phone number and lists the court's Butler address. (Government of India)
Because court jurisdiction depends on the citation and case, use the court named on your ticket.
Butler City Court and Traffic Tickets
The existence of Butler City Court means a Butler driver should not automatically assume that a traffic citation belongs in DeKalb Superior Court I.
If your citation identifies DeKalb/Butler City Court, contact that court directly.
For county moving-traffic OV cases outside the city-court jurisdiction, the DeKalb County caseload plan assigns moving-traffic OV cases to Superior Court I. (Government of India)
