MIAMI -- Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor faces up to 46 years in prison after two additional assault charges were filed against him Friday.

Michael Grieco, an assistant state attorney, said the charges reflect Taylor's alleged threatening of three people with a gun in an armed confrontation over an all-terrain vehicle on June 1.
Taylor, 22, now faces three counts of aggravated assault, each of which carries a minimum sentence of three years and a maximum of 15 years in prison. He also faces one misdemeanor battery charge that carries a potential one-year prison term.
Trial is scheduled to begin March 20 for Taylor, a former University of Miami star who signed a seven-year, $18-million contract after being drafted by the Redskins in 2004. He has six interceptions and 120 tackles in his two seasons.
Taylor's attorney, Edward Carhart, said the additional charges surprised him.
"The state has had this case since June and now they're filing these added charges? It's bizarre," Carhart said.
Taylor has pleaded not guilty and remains free on $16,500 bond.
The Redskins lost to the Seattle Seahawks two weeks ago in the NFC playoffs. In a playoff victory against Tampa Bay, Taylor was ejected after spitting in the face of Buccaneers running back Michael Pittman. Earlier in that game, he ran a fumble back for a touchdown.

This guy can still make millions playing a kids' game because he's got freak athletic ability yet if a regular guy working in a factory or an office did this, he'd be out on his ass. Gotta love how the NFL and other pro sports has their priorities in order. If you can run fast, hit the curveball or dribble a basketball between your legs...you'll always have a place to work even if you break the law.

considering the bond for his release was $16,500....I wonder how serious this really is, given that he's potentially facing 46 years...
I'd think the bond would be much higher....

Bond is nothing more than an inducement to appear in court. I'm assuming that after he first posted bond, he also surrendered his passport. Also, he is a very public figure. Which means his flight risk is rather minimal.

I know Sean personally.
