Woman won’t press rape charge against former Vol defender
t he Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide unit, which oversees domestic violence cases.
Taylor was arrested on Saturday and coach Nick Saban dismissed the defensive lineman the following day. He was charged with domestic violence thirddegree assault and domestic violence third-degree criminal mischief after the woman reported injuries to her neck and damage to her apartment. She had said a verbal argument allegedly turned physical.
Two days l ater, she contacted i nvestigators and said Taylor had not hurt her. She maintained in further interviews on Tuesday that she had lied about the incident that led to Taylor’s arrest.
Officers also “observed physical injuries” to the woman before making the arrest, Hart said.
The 6-foot-4, 335-pound lineman was dismissed from Georgia in July 2014 following his arrest on aggravated assault and fami ly violence charges for allegedly punching and choking his gi rl f riend. That case is still pending.
