Ryan Staten Island, NY: Any Info on Jermain Taylors Arrest in Miami?
SportsNation Dan Rafael: (12:12 PM ET ) He got arrested on Memorial Day in Miami Beach for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest and is out on bond. Nothing too serious. Supposedly, had stopped his car on a street with traffic and was told to move along. Got a little heated and got arrested. I am told heavyweight Dominick Guinn, Taylor's buddy, was also arrested with him.

Jermain Taylor draws crowd for fight outside ring

News outside the ring: Cops arrested professional boxer and former middleweight champ Jermain Taylor over the holiday weekend in South Beach. Charges: disorderly conduct and resisting officers.
Happened during Urban Beach Week, at 10:45 p.m. Sunday, in the 1400 block of Collins Avenue Taylor, 30, driving a Rolls-Royce, allegedly stopped the car in the road, blocking traffic. When told to move, he climbed back in the Rolls, drove it another 100 feet, then stopped again. He got out and ''began to yell and dance,'' a police report says. A crowd of about 50 gathered.
Officers tried to arrest Taylor for breach of the peace when he resisted and pushed a uniformed cop in the shoulder, the report says. Police got him to the ground, cuffed him and booked him into Miami-Dade County Jail at 2:23 a.m. Memorial Day. He spent three hours in the pokey before posting a $5,500 bond. Arraignment is set for June 15 before Circuit Judge Yvonne Colodny.
Not the best couple of months for Taylor. He challenged super-middleweight champion Carl Froch in a title fight on April 25, but Froch knocked him out in the final round.
Taylor trained in Miami for that bout.
