Bachelorette’ Alum James McCoy Taylor Re-Arrested in Texas Over 2024 Assault Case Probation Violation

The rebooking followed a warrant after his probation was revoked over unpaid fines, and a court hearing is pending.

Overview

  • Taylor was taken into custody in Brazos County on March 20 and released the same day on a $10,000 surety bond, according to sheriff’s records.
  • Court documents show a Feb. 17 arrest warrant was issued after his probation was revoked, with roughly $300 still owed out of $1,184 in fines and fees and an $80 payment recorded shortly before the arrest.
  • The Brazos County Attorney’s Office confirmed the rebooking was for an alleged probation violation, and a judge will hear arguments before any potential sentencing on the underlying case.
  • In April 2025, Taylor pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily injury and unlawful restraint stemming from the April 2024 incident and received 18 months’ probation, 80 hours of community service, anger management classes, fines and a no-contact order, along with a Northgate district ban.
  • Probable-cause filings describe allegations that he tackled, pinned and groped a 19-year-old college student, which Taylor has publicly denied, calling the encounter consensual.
