Jermain Taylor gone wild in Miami, arrested

DStew · May 29, 2009

More info:

Taylor, who is from Little Rock, was in the Miami area for the holiday, according to Ozell Nelson, Taylors manager and trainer. Taylor has kept a condo in the area since he trained there under Pat Burns several years ago.

Nelson said the arrest appears to be a matter of Taylor being in a busy area at the wrong time. Later that night, in a separate incident, Miami Dolphins defensive end Randy Starks was charged with aggravated battery after allegedly veering his slow-moving truck into an officer trying to stop him on Ocean Drive. The felony carries a minimum of five years in state prison and a maximum of 30.

The Miami Herald reported that Sanchez said there were 548 arrests in Miami Beach during Memorial Day weekend.

Nelson said he has been told that Taylor stepped out of a car because the traffic was backed up and the police took him down.

The police down there during Memorial weekend are real aggressive, Nelson said. They dont care who you are, if something isnt right, they are going to react first and deal with it later. From my understanding, he didnt do anything.Taylors business manager, Andrew Meadors, said he had spoken with Taylor and agreed with Nelsons understanding of what happened. Meadors added that Taylor is considering taking legal action and that he has several witnesses to corroborate his story.

Jermains getting an attorney down there, and I really cant say anything more, other than I think this is an example of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Meadors said.

The 'wrong place' being the middle of the road, presumably...

Rumor has it the arresting officers thought it was just a guy who looked like Jermain, since this guy was dancing and everyone knows Jermain has no foot movement.

They only realized it was JT after they were able to take him without a fight.

If only the cops had let him keep dancing, his stamina would've given out and they wouldn't even have to put any work into it.
