@BarrettSallee: See ya. RT @AaronSuttles: Jonathan Taylor arrested for domestic violence and criminal mischief. LINK
-----------
ETA: for those wondering who he is.....
When Alabama this week signed Jonathan Taylor, a player dismissed from Georgia last summer and still facing a felony charge, Alabama athletic director Bill Battle said the Crimson Tide "thoroughly investigated numerous sources" concerning Taylor's situation.
Those sources apparently did not include Georgia head coach Mark Richt.
Asked this week whether Georgia coaches had talked with Alabama about Taylor, Richt told the Macon Telegraph, "I didn't get contacted." He did not elaborate.
Taylor was kicked off Georgia's team in late July after being arrested on a charge of felony aggravated assault and family violence. He was also one of four Georgia players arrested in March -- James DeLoach, Uriah LeMay and Tray Matthews were the others -- on charges of deception for double-cashing meal reimbursement checks.
The felony case is in the pre-arraignment stage in Clarke County (Ga.) Superior Court. Taylor received pre-trial intervention on the March charge, but violated its terms with the July arrest, according to the Athens Banner-Herald.
Taylor, a 6-foot-4, 340-pound nose guard, spent the 2014 season at Copiah-Lincoln (Miss.) Community College. He was one of eight signees to enroll for the spring semester at Alabama this week.

Could easily be another Jonathan Maurice Taylor who looks just like him

He will find himself on second team if not careful.

Jesus. Could Alabama getting any more bad news today? Still got an hour and a half.

Not surprised. Can't believe they took this guy to begin with.

Good fricking riddance. None of us wanted his thug arse anyway.

Wow. Not surprised though

I wouldn't say none...
Either way, I agree with you. Hopefully he gets his life on track somehow. He had an awesome support system at Alabama and still fricked up again.

I was pissed when we let him in.

SABAN LOSING THE TEAM!! Figured I'd give myself 10 seconds to act like an Alabama fan.

I don't believe in third chances. He fricked up, got a merciful second chance opportunity and screwed it up again... you're a menace to society... go do it elsewhere.

Love the BAMA replies... we didn't want him anyway. GTFO!

Look at the threads from when Bama accepted him last year. The VAST majority of Bama fans didn't want to give him a chance here based on what his previous transgression was. It was DV, which we didn't want to excuse. We werent talking drugs, DUi, or a stolen laptop here. It was domestic violence and most Bama fans did not want him.
