James Taylor of 'The Bachelorette' Arrested Again

On Sunday, August 4, 38-year-old James Taylor was arrested at a bar in the Northgate entertainment district of Brazos County, Texas, Page Six reported. The College Station Police Department confirmed the arrest. The warrants were issued by the Bryan Police Department and stem from an incident that took place in April. According to jail records, Taylor was booked on two charges: assault causing bodily injury and unlawful restraint.

Released later that day on an $8,000 surety bond, Taylor has not made any public statements regarding this latest arrest. This incident adds to his legal troubles over the years. In September 2022, Taylor was arrested for driving while intoxicated and unlawful carrying of a weapon. A month later, a Brazos County judge sentenced him to five days in detention, a $500 fine, $585 in court costs, and temporarily revoked his driver’s license.

Taylor gained public attention on JoJo Fletcher’s season of "The Bachelorette," finishing in fifth place. In January 2021, he revealed his involvement in the U.S. Capitol riots in support of former President Donald Trump, a claim that led to significant backlash. Although Taylor thanked "The Bachelor" franchise for their support during this period, franchise creator Mike Fleiss strongly refuted his claims and publicly banished him from Bachelor Nation.

Taylor also hinted at potential political ambitions in the same year. "I turn 35 in May and am considering a run for president," he wrote on social media. Despite his contentious past, Taylor remains a figure of public interest.

Conclusion

While Taylor has yet to publicly address his most recent legal issues, his history suggests a pattern of problematic behavior. His past includes driving while intoxicated, unlawful carrying of weapons, and a controversial presence at politically charged events. His future involvement in public life, whether as a reality TV personality or potential political aspirant, remains uncertain.
