Lawrence Taylor’s wife arrested for domestic violence

It is not every day that you hear about a legendary NFL linebacker being attacked by his wife. However, that is exactly what happened Thursday night after Lawrence Taylor’s wife, Lynette, was arrested for domestic violence.

TMZ reported that she was arrested Thursday night and charged with one count of domestic violence and one count of resisting arrest. She was accused of hitting him in the back of the head and causing a small laceration.

Lynette reportedly denied the allegations and said there was no way that she could have attacked him.

That’s a lie,” she told the judge. “My husband is a 300 pound linebacker.”

The judge was pretty surprised when he found out that she was the wife of a Hall of Fame linebacker.

“Not the Lawrence Taylor,” the judge asked. “Really?”

Yes, judge, the Lawrence Taylor. I have to commend him for not going off on her since he was a pretty aggressive linebacker during his days in the NFL.
