MIAMI (AP) - Former football star and Williamsburg native, Lawrence Taylor has been released on bond following his arrest in a Miami-area traffic accident.
According to Miami-Dade County jail records, Taylor was charged Sunday with leaving the scene of an accident with property damage, a second-degree misdemeanor. He was released on $500 bond later that night. It was not immediately clear if Taylor has an attorney.
A Florida Highway Patrol spokesman says Taylor was involved in a hit-and-run crash Sunday in Hialeah. Taylor told investigators he thought he had hit a guard rail. There were no injuries and troopers didn't conduct a sobriety test.
Taylor is a former New York Giants linebacker. He was inducted
into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1999. He also competed in ABC's
"Dancing With the Stars" this year.
