According to Philly Voice, Meldrick Taylor, 52, was arrested on Tuesday after an armed standoff with police in Philadelphia’s Strawberry Mansion neighbourhood. It is alleged that the incident began when Taylor drew a weapon on a tenant during an attempted forced eviction at a property Taylor owns.
Police allege that a 26-year-old man and his friend returned to their home in a two-story brick row home around 11 p.m. The man alleged that once he was inside, the front door opened and Taylor told him he had to vacate the apartment before morning.
The tenant allegedly responded by telling Taylor that 30-days notice is required prior to an eviction.
