Court records released indicated that Taylor tested negative for alcohol, but performed poorly on field sobriety tests. Tuscaloosa Municipal Judge Ricky McKinney ruled Tuesday that Taylor was not guilty of the DUI charge. The judge is expected to issue a ruling on the leaving the scene of an accident charge after the vehicle that was struck has been repaired, said Taylor's attorney, Jason Neff. "Of course I am pleased with this verdict," he said. "I hope Mr. Taylor will have an opportunity to move forward with his football career." Taylor called Tuscaloosa Police at 8:50 a.m. that Sunday to report that he had struck a vehicle in the parking lot off The Woodlands off Hargrove Road.

"Taylor advised that he had not been drinking, he did not take medication and had no medical problems." - See more at: https://alabama.rivals.com/news/alphonse-taylor-found-not-guilty
