Now, Hornets’ Taylor arrested on assault charges
Print Edition
JEFF Taylor of the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets was arrested and charged on Thursday on domestic assault allegations, just the latest unsavory incident to tarnish the reputation of US sports.
The 25-year-old was arraigned and has been formally charged with one count of domestic assault, one count of assault and one count of malicious destruction of property, said a statement from police in East Lansing, Michigan.
Police were called after a report of domestic assault at an East Lansing hotel at around 1:00am on Thursday.
Bond was set at US$5,000 and the Charlotte News and Observer newspaper reported that Taylor had been released from Ingham County jail.
Taylor is about to enter his third season in the NBA.
His arrest comes just days after NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said the league was reviewing its policies on domestic violence in light of the public relations crisis the NFL is facing over its handling of several such cases involving high-profile players.
