Details on UA lineman's arrest released

The Alabama offensive lineman arrested on a driving under the influence charge last week tested negative for alcohol, but performed poorly on field sobriety tests, according to court documents.

Alphonse Taylor, 22, was arrested the morning of July 17 at the Woodlands Apartment complex off Hargrove Road East.

According to documents requested by The Tuscaloosa News and provided by the Tuscaloosa Office of the City Attorney, Taylor called Tuscaloosa Police at 8:50 a.m. that Sunday to report that he had struck a vehicle in the parking lot.

"I immediately noticed that Taylor's speech was very slow and he appeared lethargic," the responding officer wrote in the arrest report.
