TMz was the first to report that the Hall of Fame pass rusher was indeed arrested for violating the terms as a sex offender when he failed to report that he had changed his residence. Taylor has been arrested for this same charge before.
Broward County jail officials tell us … Taylor turned himself in on an outstanding felony warrant on Wednesday at around 5 PM — and was thrown behind bars on one charge of failure to report name or residence change.
The ex-New York Giants superstar remained in jail for several hours … before he was ultimately released at around 3 AM on Thursday.
Taylor has always been known as one of, if not the greatest, football player of all time, however, he has some major issues off the field since his career in the league ended, most notably his criminal and drug problems. This is now the second time in just the last four years that Taylor has been arrested on this specific charge, as he was also arrested in 2021 for the same thing.
His lawyer however, told TMZ that this is really just a big misunderstanding and that it will all be figured out smoothly.
“My client, Lawrence Taylor, will be pleading ‘Not Guilty’ to the recent charges,” Mark Eiglarsh said. “As with the previous incident involving the same allegations, Mr. Taylor did not knowingly commit any criminal offense. This situation is a significant misunderstanding.”
“We are confident that, once the prosecutors review the exculpatory evidence demonstrating Mr. Taylor’s innocence, he will once again achieve a favorable outcome.”
As his attorney states, Taylor will plead not guilty just as he did in 2021. However, one would assume that after getting arrested the first time for this, that Taylor would have avoided this issue for the second time in just four years.
NFL Fans Initial Reaction To The Arrest

When it comes to Taylor, and the way fans feel about him, he has already had his three strikes. So it makes sense that fans were disturbed by the news.
“This dude went over the deep end,” one fan wrote.
“Damn man,” one fan added.
“Wow,” another fan wrote.
“No doubt his popularity will save him from prison (again) but this guy really needs to be removed from society, and quickly,” one fan added.
It is very sad what has happened to Taylor, and beyond just dealing with the courts, Taylor seems to need much more intervention in his life.
