Ex-NFL defender Adarius Taylor was arrested last week after leaving his 6-year-old son in his car to meet up with a prosтιтute, local police in Florida stated. 

The incidents with Taylor allegedly took place last week after the former Cleveland Brown responded to a fake internet posting that promised escort services in exchange for cash.  

Taylor allegedly took his child to an undisclosed location, where he left the child in the car before he contacted with an undercover officer inside what looks to be a H๏τel room, per TMZ. 

Police video shows Taylor talking with the undercover cop about a possible transaction before he scampers out of the room. He was arrested moments later on prosтιтution-related charges, with matters getting far worse for the former linebacker when his son was discovered. 

‘This guy here, obviously he must have hit one too many people as a linebacker because his brain cells are scrambled,’ Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said during a news conference. 

‘He shouldn’t have shown up in the first place, but to leave that child? My goodness. So he picked up a child neglect charge along with everything else.’

Judd added that Taylor’s son had ‘a lot of medical issues’ as a result of the incident.

‘And he left this child alone that should have never been left alone because of medical conditions,’ Judd added.

Taylor’s son ‘is doing fine’ after he was picked up from the incident by his mother. 

Taylor spent four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and three years with the Carolina Panthers in addition to his stint with the Browns. 

The 34-year-old last played professional football with the Calgary Stampeders in 2023, spending several weeks on their practice squad.
