Police call Taylor 'person of interest' in investigation

ESPN.com news services

MIAMI -- Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor, describe as a "person of interest" in an assault case, turned himself in to Miami-Dade County police on Saturday, ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reported.

The assault happened Wednesday night and shots were fired, police spokesman Mary Walters said. No one was injured.

Questioned about a broadcast report that Taylor, when found, would be charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, one South Florida law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation said: "All I can tell you is that the investigation has moved forward in some areas but that, at this point, officially, nothing has changed in terms of [Taylor's] status. He remains a person of interest to us. If or when something changes, people will know it."

Police have not issued an arrest warrant against Taylor.

"We need to speak to him, we don't know if he's a victim, witness or suspect," Walters said on Friday.

Walters said she didn't have further details and police were still investigating.

The Washington Post reported on its Web site the assault case involved a stolen car. Taylor and a friend were reportedly at the scene of a crime, but it was unclear who the stolen car belonged to and why Taylor was there. A public information officer for the Miami-Dade County Police Department told The Post that shots were fired into the vehicle.

Earlier Friday, Detective Robert Williams said "a person of interest" means Taylor could be a subject, victim or witness of an alleged crime and that the police department was looking for him.

Taylor's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, declined comment Friday. Taylor and the Redskins didn't immediately return phone messages seeking comment.

Taylor, who wants a new contract, has been working out in Miami despite pleas from coach Joe Gibbs to join the team in voluntary workouts at their home base in suburban Washington. He signed a seven-year, $18 million deal as the No. 5 overall draft pick in the 2004 draft.

The former Miami Hurricanes standout has had a tempestuous start to his NFL career.

He has fired two agents, was fined for skipping one day of the NFL's mandatory rookie symposium and was accused of spitting on a player during a game at Cincinnati, although he was not punished because the league said there was no video evidence.

He was also charged with drunken driving in October, when he was pulled over at 2:45 a.m. after attending a birthday party for receiver Rod Gardner. Those charges were dismissed in January.

We just completed a quick interview with WOAI Channel 4 sports out of San Antonio. He was telling me that he could not believe I got Coach Parcells to sign my mask. He stated that Bill rarely signs autographs for the fans during practice. Mr. Jones is always nice to me--a great owner!

Naw--really he said "Crazy--pull my finger"

CrazyCowboy, it doesn't look like Jones is that comfortable pictured with a face painter.

What did you bribe him with?

I was thinking that too, sorta like Jones is wondering where security is right about now.

Awesome pic though. WTG.

Whew! I'm glad you mentioned it was a mask. I thought it was your real face and was getting kind of disturbed

Thought we had some kind of Leatherface Cowboy fan.
