Police said Butler was driving west on I-94 at the time of the incident.
The victims told a Michigan State Police trooper about the incident, and Butler was pulled over on I-94 near Michigan Avenue. He was arrested at that location, police said.
Officials previously said the woman told them a shot was fired at the vehicle. It's unclear if authorities still believe a shot was fired.
Police said in a previous release that a gun was recovered when Butler was arrested.
Butler is charged with felony in possession of a firearm, felon in possession of ammunition, two counts of felonious assault, reckless driving, driving with a suspended license and four felony firearms violations.
He was arraigned Friday at 34th District Court. A probable cause conference is scheduled for March 20 and a preliminary examination is scheduled for March 27.
Butler is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.
