Football Star Lawrence Taylor Arrested

Taylor Charged With Leaving Accident Scene

Former NFL star and "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Lawrence Taylor was arrested Sunday evening, according to the Florida Highway Patrol, WPLG-TV in Miami reported.

FHP said Hialeah police responded to a report of a crash. One vehicle was damaged, and police said a second vehicle had fled the scene. No injuries were reported.

According to FHP, the vehicle that fled was missing a tire and had scratched the ground.

Hialeah police found a vehicle matching the description of the car involved in the crash, and Taylor was outside the car, talking on his cell phone.

FHP said Taylor had been driving without a tire and finally had to stop. Taylor told officers that he thought he had hit a guardrail, according to FHP.

Police said the officers did not conduct a sobriety test and that Taylor did not seem to be impaired.

Taylor was arrested and charged with leaving the scene of an accident with property damage, a second-degree misdemeanor.

Taylor was released on $500 bond Sunday night.
