Jonathan Taylor pleads guilty in '14 assault case

Former SEC defensive lineman Jonathan Taylor has pleaded guilty in a domestic violence case that ultimately led to his departure from Georgia.

Taylor originally signed with the Bulldogs out of high school but was dismissed by then-coach Mark Richt after an arrest for aggravated assault in July 2014. Earlier this month, he was sentenced to three years probation, fined $1,000 and ordered to complete 100 hours of community service.

Taylor, who was also arrested on charges of theft by deception earlier in 2014, spent a year at a junior college before signing at Alabama. He spent only a brief time on campus in Tuscaloosa before being arrested on another charge of domestic violence.
