Wide receiver Travis Taylor was arrested early Monday outside a downtown Minneapolis nightclub and booked on misdemeanor charges of fifth-degree assault, disorderly conduct and interfering with pedestrian traffic.
Lt. Amelia Huffman said officers were attempting to disperse a large, unruly crowd at 2:30 a.m. in front of 311 First Ave. N., so an ambulance could get through.
"Taylor was ordered by the officers to get into a limo bus awaiting him," Huffman said. "He did not do as directed but prevented the bus from leaving. After Taylor continued to ignore the officer's order, the officer turned to escort Taylor away from the bus to clear the street. Taylor pulled his arm away from the officer and began pushing the officer. The officer used his Taser to gain control of Taylor and took Taylor into custody."
According to Lt. Greg Reinhardt. They wanted Taylor to get into a waiting limousine-bus. Reinhardt said Taylor refused.
"Mr. Taylor pulled away and was given many verbal warnings," Reinhardt said. "He appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. The officer took the proper steps and Mr. Taylor forcibly put his hands on the officer."
The other three Vikings to get in trouble since training camp began include receiver Koren Robinson (since released), safety Dwight Smith and defensive backs coach Joe Woods. Robinson was arrested for drunken driving and fleeing police in August, and Smith received a citation for indecent conduct later that month. In December, Woods was arrested and charged with two counts of driving while impaired.

Being drunk, disobeying and pushing police officers around in the early hours New Years Day can earn the privilege of being tazered.
Amazing the NFL doesn't cover in rookie orientation meetings how to cooperate with police, and not get tasered.
