UPDATE: 2:41 P.M., Tuesday, Oct. 12
Taylor turned himself in Monday night, was booked into jail, and then released Tuesday, according to sheriff’s spokesman Tony Botti.
Taylor’s release came because the charge of failing to update his address as a registered sex offender qualified him for zero bail.
A December 21 court date has been set for Taylor.
