“Apparently too much,” he replied to the officer’s query of whether he had had alcohol.
On Monday, he pleaded guilty and will have to attend DUI school, perform 75 hours of community service, and pay a fine of $1,050. During a 12 month probation he will be subjected to random alcohol and drug screenings. In addition, Taylor will have his license revoked for nine months.
Taylor is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and two-time Super Bowl champion, but had a career and post-career plagued by drug abuse and legal trouble.
He competed on Dancing With the Stars in 2009.
