Lawrence Taylor was reportedly arrested on Thursday and hit with two felony charges. A report from CBS Sports indicates that Taylor’s latest legal battle stems from him moving to a new address without notifying the authorities. A decade ago, Taylor plead guilty to sexual misconduct after having sex with a 16-year-old. As a result, he had to register as a sex offender and is required to notify authorities of his home address.
According to a report from TMZ, Taylor’s attorney, Arthur Aidala, says his client has complied with the requirements of his legal status and was unjustly arrested. Aidala explained that Taylor is “in the middle of a divorce” and “his local police department suggested it would be best if he slept at a nearby hotel.”
“Mr. Taylor was constantly a resident of the marital home where he was registered,” Aidala added.
“But on advice of local law enforcement, he was sleeping outside the home. We are confident that this will be dismissed at the first court hearing.”
