Pro Football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor was arrested Friday in Florida on suspicion of driving under the influence.ย 

Per WPTVย in West Palm Beach, Taylor's arrest took place around 5:20 p.m. ET after he hit a motorhome and sideswiped a patrol car while changing lanes. He was taken to the Palm Beach County Jail.

Per WPTV, officials said Taylor's car hit the patrol car's mirror during the accident, though it did not cause any significant damage.

The 57-year-old has had his share of legal woes, both during and after his NFL playing career. He detailed cocaine abuse and multiple stints in rehab in his autobiography, whichย was released in 2004.ย 

In 2009, Taylor was arrested in Miami Dade County, Florida, for leaving the scene of an accident after hitting another vehicle with his Cadillac.

Taylor was one of the NFL's most fearsome defenders during his 13-year career with the New York Giants. He was a first-team All-Pro eight times and was the last defensive player to be named the NFL MVP (1986).ย 

Despite his off-field issues, Taylor was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999, his first year of eligibility. ย  ย  ย
