Travis Taylor Tasered (1 Viewer)

Too bad someone didnt do that in midseason and whip his ### into gear.

In many ways the offseason is more action packed than the regular season.

The next few months are going to be interesting.

For instance, just today a coach was fired, a CB killed (rip all respect intended), now a WR tasered???

Im scared to wake up tomorrow.

 
Vikings receiver Travis Taylor was arrested early Monday in downtown Minneapolis on three misdemeanor charges.

The veteran, whose team finished its season on Sunday with a 41-21 loss to St. Louis at the Metrodome, was charged with disorderly conduct, fifth-degree assault and interference with pedestrian or vehicular traffic.

Taylor was outside a nightclub at 311 First Avenue just after 3 a.m. when Minneapolis police asked him and several others to move along, according to Lt. Greg Reinhardt. Reinhardt said Taylor refused to comply with the orders. "Mr. Taylor pulled away and was given many verbal warnings," Reinhardt said. "He appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. The officer took the proper steps and Mr. Taylor forcibly put his hands on the officer."

Reinhardt said the arresting officer "deployed" his taser to "bring Mr. Taylor under control," and arrested him. He was taken to Hennepin County jail and released at 4:40 a.m. on $50 bail.

Taylor was at Winter Park later Monday morning for the Vikings' season-ending meetings. Approached in the locker room, Taylor initially said he would have no comment. "I'm going to discuss it with a team official, the situation and go from there," he said.

Taylor went on to call the arrest "a misunderstanding," and termed it, "an unfortunate situation." "You've just got to deal with it," he said. He denied that there was any type of altercation. "It wasn't anything like that," Taylor said. "[i was] just in the limo and got pulled out. We'll discuss that later and deal with the situation."

Taylor's initial court appearance has been set for Jan. 3, according to the Hennepin County jail roster.

What the hell is "fifth-degree assault?" Is that like a 4th degree green-belt or something?

I think it was an accident that happened when Troy Williamson dropped the taser in the locker room after the game.

I think he slapped someone like a girl.. and they want to charge him for it, yet call him out on a pansy move... 5th degree assualt... maybe it's spitting. Weird... it's seems like a "catch-all" charge, when the first four don't apply... or they didn't want to give him a felony.
Code: 
[quote]Assault. This is the most common crime that is reported to the Minneapolis police department Domestic Assault Unit. There are five levels of assault.Assault in the first degree (Felony). When a victim sustains "great bodily harm" as the result of an assault. This means when bodily injury creates a high probability of death or causes serious permanent disfigurement or loss or impairment of a bodily member or organ.Assault in the second degree (Felony). When a victim sustains harm or is subjected to the potential for harm through the suspect's use of a dangerous weapon (firearms, knives, or an object which can be construed as a dangerous weapon).Assault in the third degree (Felony). When a victim sustains "substantial bodily harm" as the result of an assault. This means when bodily injury results in temporary but substantial disfigurement or impairment of a bodily member or organ.Assault in the fourth degree (Felony). This level of assault is for law enforcement personnel who are victims of an assault while on duty or for bias motivated crimes.Assault in the fifth degree (Misdemeanor). There are two parts to this level of assault that constitute fifth degree: when a victim sustains or the suspect attempted to inflict "bodily harm" which is defined as physical pain or injury not covered by the other levels of injury defined above, or when the suspect commits an act with the attempt to cause fear in the victim. Under this statute, the victim does not actually have to be assaulted but only be in fear of being assaulted for law enforcement to take action against the suspect.Under this statute, misdemeanor assaults can be enhanced to the gross misdemeanor or felony level if the suspect has previous convictions for assault.[/quote]

hmm. Couldn't 5th degree assault be considered a threat like "I'm going to sue you"?
