Hamilton County Judge Bernie Bouchard declined to grant Taylor-Britt community service after his court hearing, per ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The reckless driving misdemeanor was punishable by up to 30 days in jail with a $250 fine or a combination of the two. Bouchard insisted Taylor-Britt serve his jail time immediately.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s a gift,” he told Taylor-Britt in court, per ESPN. “Five days instead of 30. He\u2019s got to do them now. It\u2019ll be over soon enough.”<\/p>\n

After pleading guilty,<\/a> Taylor-Britt was taken into custody and booked at 11:23 a.m.<\/p>\n

Taylor-Britt is expected to be released Jan. 11.<\/p>\n

Taylor-Britt will enter free agency this offseason with his rookie contract with the Bengals set to expire with the new league year.<\/p>\n

He also arrived to court on crutches as he recovers from a Lisfranc injury in his left foot, which required surgery.<\/p>\n

“I just want to apologize, first and foremost, for my actions that I\u2019ve put everybody else through,” he said in court. “Not intentional in [any] way.”<\/p>\n

Taylor-Britt has tallied 203 combined tackles, two forced fumbles, seven interceptions and 38 passes defended in four years in Cincinnati.<\/p>\n
