The man that many said revolutionized the linebacker position in the NFL may be facing time behind bars. Pro Football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor was arrested Thursday in connection with a reported rape in the New York City suburbs. The former New York Giants linebacker has been charged with third-degree rape, after police investigated a reported rape that occurred earlier Thursday at a hotel in Montebello. Authorities have yet to announce any further details, except that they plan to have a press conference later today when they have more facts. Taylor was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1999 and competed in ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" last year. He had a highly publicized struggle with drug addiction and has had multiple legal run-ins in retirement. Taylor was a fast, intimidating and athletic linebacker when he anchored the Giants defense and led New York to Super Bowl Championships in 1987 and 1991. L.T. was a 10-time Pro Bowler, the NFL Most Valuable Player in 1986 and the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1981, 1982 and 1986, and named to the NFL's 75th Anniversary All-Time Team. He recorded 132.5 sacks, which doesn't included the 9.5 sacks in 1981 when the statistic wasn't official. But his legal issues are well-documented too. In 2001, Taylor was convicted of possessing drug paraphernalia in New Jersey. The conviction stemmed from the September 1998 discovery in a hotel room of a butane torch and other materials commonly used to smoke crack. In 1996 and 1997, he was arrested in South Carolina and Florida on drug charges. In those cases, he either admitted his guilt or agreed to enter a pretrial intervention program, and in 2000, he drew five years of federal probation for filing false tax returns and for tax evasion.
