Ousted Bachelor Nation star James McCoy Taylor arrested for DWI and unlawful carrying of a weapon

Ousted Bachelor Nation star James McCoy Taylor was arrested for DWI and unlawful carrying of a weapon in his native Texas on Saturday at 1am.

The 36-year-old reality star spent the night at the Brazos County Detention Center and was released after paying $6K bail – according to KBTX.

A Blinn College police officer caught an intoxicated James urinating near his 2012 Ford F150 pick-up truck inside the Northgate parking garage and instructed him not to drive.

Taylor disobeyed the off-duty officer’s orders and took off in his truck before College Station police pulled him over and removed his keys from the ignition.

After the country crooner failed a field sobriety test he was placed under arrest and became verbally abusive to the officer, calling him an ‘idiot’ and threatening to have him fired.

Inside James’ truck the officer discovered a handgun in the driver’s door pocket as well as an ‘impaired’ 18-year-old college freshman, who was likely enrolled at the nearby Texas A&M University.

Taylor claimed he was driving her back to her dorm, but police noted that the teenager ‘was not in any kind of condition to appraise the benefits and risks of the situation she was in.’

The outspoken MAGA Republican first found fame in 2016 competing for the heart of JoJo Fletcher in the 12th season of ABC’s The Bachelorette, but he was eliminated in week seven.

At the time, James said in his Bachelorette bio that if he was stranded on a desert island he would bring ‘cold beer (unlimited supply, of course).’

Taylor got into hot water in January 2021 for promoting the Save America rally in Washington, DC, which led to the insurrectionist Capitol attack.
