LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) β A psychiatrist who evaluated boxer Jermain Taylor at his attorneys’ request says he should be released, but made to wear an ankle monitor and submit to random drug and alcohol testing.
A Pulaski County judge said Tuesday he’ll wait to decide if the champion middleweight boxer can go home until state doctors have finished their evaluation of his mental state.
Taylor faces charges stemming from the August shooting of his cousin at his home in Maumelle.
He’s also charged with aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a minor after police said he opened fire and threatened to shoot a family during a Martin Luther King Jr. parade in Little Rock.
Taylor will remain at a private lockdown facility until he’s transported to the Arkansas State Hospital for testing.
