A domestic violence charge against ex-Alabama defensive tackle Jonathan Taylor was dropped Tuesday as part of a plea agreement, according to a report from Stephanie Taylor of The Tuscaloosa News. Taylor pleaded guilty to misdemeanor criminal mischief in Tuscaloosa Municipal Court at a hearing on Tuesday morning. The misdemeanor domestic violence charge was dropped as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors.

Taylor was arrested and charged with one count of domestic violence third degree assault and one count of domestic violence three degree criminal mischief on March 28. The arrest took place after his girlfriend told police he had injured her neck and punched a hole in a door at her apartment.

One day later, the defensive tackle was dismissed from the Crimson Tide program. The girlfriend recanted her story two days later, saying she Taylor did not harm her, and was charged with false reporting to law enforcement for fabricating the stories.

Taylor, 21, enrolled at Alabama in January by way of a community college after being dismissed from the University of Georgia last summer. He was also arrested and charged with felony aggravated assault and family violence while at Georgia, and those charges against him are still pending.

As part of the plea agreement, Taylor will be required to pay court costs, restitution and take anger management classes.
