Middleweight champion Jermain Taylor on Wednesday was booked back into jail after a judge determined he had violated the terms of his release on bail from an August shooting by allegedly pointing a gun at a man’s head and threatening to kill his three children at a parade Monday in Arkansas, the Associated Press reported.

Taylor in August was charged with allegedly shooting his cousin in Little Rock, Ark. He was released on bond and then was arraigned Tuesday on these more recent charges. He pleaded not guilty and again released on bond, but a day later a judge said he had violated the terms of his previous release and is now to be held without bail.

Taylor was to defend his title against Sergio Mora of Los Angeles on Feb. 6 in Biloxi, Miss., but that has been canceled.

Taylor’s moniker is “Bad Intentions.” Seems to fit these days more than ever.
