According to reports, NFL legend Lawrence Taylor was arrested in Florida on charges of failing to register as a sex offender. He was taken into custody on Thursday night, posed for a mugshot, and released hours later. 

"Lawrence Taylor has been compliant with all of the rules and regulations regarding his legal status for the past decade. Sadly he is in the middle of a divorce and his local police department suggested it would be best if he slept at a nearby hotel," said Taylor's attorney Arthur Aidala. "Mr. Taylor was constantly a resident of the marital home where he was registered, 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."

The two counts of failure to register as a sex offender are felony charges.
