Veteran Jacksonville Jaguars running back Fred Taylor was arrested outside of a Miami Beach nightclub early Sunday morning and charged with disorderly conduct.

Taylor was not taken to jail, according to Detective Juan Sanchez, a spokesman for the Miami Beach Police Department.

He was instead released outside of Club Cristal on Fifth Street on his own recognizance with a promise to appear in court.

The exact circumstances leading to Taylor's arrest weren't known on Sunday. The Miami Beach Police Department's records division, which provides police reports, is closed until Tuesday for the Labor Day weekend.

Taylor, a University of Florida alum, has been with the Jaguars his entire professional career and is preparing for his 11th season with the franchise. Last season, #28 Taylor rushed for 1,202 yards and five touchdowns.

Any chance he gets suspended for this??

I doubt it. And if he does it would be what? 1 game?

 

[Max Power]

Arrested, but not taken to Jail? Is that common in FLA? I always thought those two went hand in hand.

Sounds more like he was issued a citation. Move along, nothing to see here.

Disorderly Conduct is not an infraction, it is a misdemeanor. The officer had the choice to handcuff and physically transport him to the station or issue him a summons. He went with the latter. Same charge whether he is brought to the station or given a summons. So there is something to see here.

so disorderly they release him to the streets? Nothing to see here.

I was pointing out that this was just as serious as if he was handcuffed and brought to the station. In this case, Disorderly Conduct is a misdemeanor, he would have been released on a PTA anyway at the station, and the charge will likely be dismissed if he agrees to do some community service. For the NFL, yes, nothing to see here, but it is a misdemeanor.

"Arrested" just means stopped technically. They have the option to take you in or cite and release you for MANY offenses. I won't go into detail but there were two occasions in my life where I have done something that you hear people being booked for very frequently and I walked away with a promise to appear.Lesson to learn: ALWAYS treat the cops with respect and courtesy. It can make the difference between walking home or calling in "sick" the next day to work,

Nothing to see here, give it a rest.

The SP is so biased. If this exact thing happend to say, I don't know, Marshall you guys would be calling for his head. On a platter. Sure one guy has a history and one guy does not but it is not safe to assume who is a "good guy" and who is not unless you know both on a personal level.

And how are we supposed to do that?Are we allowed to assume Obama or McCaine are "good guys" or do we have to know them on a personal level too before we can form an opinion? It's not realistic to do what you're saying.

This has nothing to do with politics. Politicians have a voting record so you know where they stand. NFL players do not. My point is that you give NFL players the benefit of the doubt until shown otherwise, which I don't think is done with consistency by some in the SP.

Fred's been in the NFL for 10 years, and in college for three years before that. If he's been in trouble before I've not heard about it, and he's certainly not known as a bad guy generally. The downside is that we won't be hearing a humerous alibi about him wrestling with his cousin and falling through a TV, so yeah, Marshall has the edge there.

According to Taylor's lawyer:

never formally arrested, never booked, didn’t post a bond and he has not been charged with anything.

That doesn't sound much like an arrest to me. Unless a speeding ticket or a "stern talking-to" qualify as "arrested".

It's his attorney trying to downplay a summons. Many people can't seem to understand that a summons is the same thing as being arrested. Same charge, same potential penalty.

You're speaking in legal technicalities. The fact is that a physical arrest, as opposed to a mere summons to appear, is indicative of a more severe criminal charge. That goes right to the heart of why fantasy football owners are concerned (or not) about Taylor's playing status as a result of this incident.

while this is true, anything that you are "caught and released" for is usually relatively minor. I don't see much coming out of this.

for e.g. "this applies to MOST traffic tickets" where you are 'released' on a signature bond to come to court. If you don't come to court, they will usually then issue a warrant for failure to appear.*basing this in GA law, and general principles of law. Fla could be different.
