Toya Smith, 40, said she and her family were having a good time at the city’s Martin Luther King Junior Day parade Monday when Taylor produced his boxing belt and asked to get a photo with her son.
Smith says her family had never met Taylor before and that it appeared he had been drinking.
‘He bent down to give my son the belt and he almost fell over and dropped the belt, and he thought my baby dropped the belt,’ Smith said.
She said Taylor — who already faces charges in an August shooting in Maumelle, Arkansas — produced a gun and fired two shots into the air and threatened to kill her husband.
‘He put (the gun) up against his temple, I jumped in front of it and it went off up into the air,’ injuring her husband’s ear, Smith said.
A Little Rock police report says Taylor was arrested without incident and a gun was recovered. He is jailed on charges of aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of a minor and drug possession. He was released on $5,000 bond.
