Former Bachelorette Contestant Arrested Again

0:00On March 22nd, former Bachelorette contestant James McCoy Taylor is back in the headlines for legal trouble. Last Friday, he was arrested in Brazos County, Texas on charges of assault causing bodily injury and unlawful restraint. The charges relate to an incident from April 2024, and he was released the same day after posting a $10,000 surety bond. This comes after he was first arrested on the same charges last year. In April 2025, Taylor pleaded guilty to assaulting a 19-year-old blin college student. A judge sentenced him to 80 hours of community service, a $750 fine, $350 in court costs, anger, management classes, no contact with the victim, and a ban from the college's Northgate Entertainment District. The case drew attention when details emerged about the woman trying to leave his home, only to be held down until she escaped. Taylor has maintained he would never harm anyone. Meanwhile, it's been a tough stretch for Bachelorette fans amid other show-related scandals.
