He was arrested for possession of marijuana and transported to the Wichita County Jail.
After further investigation into the shooting WFPD Detectives were able to develop sufficient probable cause to obtain an arrest warrant on Taylor for aggravated robbery. The warrant was served on Taylor at the Wichita County jail.
