MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Travis Taylor was arrested early Monday outside a downtown Minneapolis nightclub, hours after the team's season-ending 41-21 loss to St. Louis.
Taylor, 27, refused an officer's request that he get into a waiting limousine-bus as police tried to disperse a large, unruly crowd so an ambulance could get through around 2:30 a.m., police spokesman Lt. Amelia Huffman said. Taylor was not allowing the bus to leave and began pushing the officer and the officer eventually used a Taser to subdue Taylor, she said.
Taylor was booked into the Hennepin County Jail on allegations of fifth-degree assault, disorderly conduct and interfering with pedestrian or vehicular traffic, all misdemeanors. He posted $50 bail and was released around 4:40 a.m.
