Boxer Jermain Taylor arrested after home shooting

Former middleweight boxing champion Jermain Taylor was arrested Friday following a shooting at his suburban Little Rock home, according to a spokesman for the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office. ‘Mr. Taylor was arrested for domestic battery, first-degree, and aggravated assault,’ said sheriff's Lt. Carl Minden. ‘It was his cousin and another individual that came over to his house, an altercation ensued, he (Taylor) grabbed a weapon and opened fire.’ The cousin was hospitalized in serious condition with an apparent gunshot wound, the other man, described as a friend of the cousin, was not injured, Minden said. The two drove away from the home and were found at a Dollar General discount store several blocks away, Minden said, after a woman believed to be Taylor's wife called 911 shortly before 6 p.m. to report an intruder and a shooting at the home. The names of the cousin and other man were not released, according to AP.
