Lawrence Taylor is facing felony charges in South Florida after failing to report an address change as required because he is a registered sex offender.
According to court records, Taylor was booked into the jail on Thursday on two counts of failing to alert authorities to an address change. He turned himself in after being told of an active warrant. Taylor was released on bail.
Arthur Aidala, Taylor's attorney, said in a statement that Taylor has been in compliance with all the rules and regulations for the past decade.
He is in the middle of a divorce and his local police department suggested that he stay at a nearby hotel. Mr. Taylor was always a resident of the home where he was registered, but on advice of local law enforcement he was sleeping outside. We are confident that this will be resolved favorably for Lawrence at the first court hearing.
In New York, Taylor pleaded guilty to criminal charges of sexual misconduct and patronizing a minor. He was sentenced to six years of supervised release and was ordered to register as a sex predator.
Taylor was a member of the New York Giants team that won the Super Bowl in 1987 and 1991.
