Jermain Taylor, boxing champ, accused of pointing gun at kids


A Little Rock, Ark., woman says middleweight boxing champion Jermain Taylor pointed a gun at her 5-, 3-, and 1 year old children, threatened to kill them and her husband, and fired into the air.

Taylor who already faces charges in an August shooting in Maumelle, Ark. was arrested shortly after the incident Monday and is jailed on charges of aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of a minor and drug possession.

Toya Smith of Little Rock told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that Taylor became enraged when her five-year-old son dropped the boxer's championship belt that he had taken to the Martin Luther King Day parade.

A Little Rock police report says Taylor was arrested without incident and a gun was recovered.

Taylor's attorneys did not immediately return phone calls for comment Tuesday.
