“Bachelorette” star James Taylor accused of shoving woman to ground, preventing her from leaving his home: Police

The controversial Bachelor Nation alum appeared on JoJo Fletcher's season of "The Bachelorette."

More details have emerged surrounding the arrest of Bachelor Nation's James McCoy Taylor.

Taylor, who competed on season 12 of JoJo Fletcher's The Bachelorette, was arrested in Texas over the weekend on charges of assault and unlawful restraint related to an earlier incident. A probable cause statement submitted by a law enforcement official and reviewed by Entertainment Weekly details information pertaining to the incident that took place on April 24, in which a woman called police and accused Taylor of "restricting" her movement, "shoving her to the ground," "getting on top of her," and "using his body weight to prevent her from getting off the ground" after she tried to leave his home.

Per the probable cause statement, the woman met Taylor earlier in the evening at Johnny Manziel's Money Bar in College Station, Texas, before arriving to his condominium, where they "kissed" and "made out" before the woman began to "feel uncomfortable."

The woman "advised she felt [Taylor] getting very serious and intense" and had "a look on his face that frightened her," per the report. Then, she reportedly entered a restroom to contact a friend to help her hail an Uber. As she was trying to exit the front door, Taylor allegedly "pushed the door closed" and "started kissing her" before he "threw her to the ground" and groped her, the officer wrote, adding that he observed photos of "multiple contusions" on the woman's hips and buttocks.

She "was able to wiggle free and escape through the front door," read the report. The officer wrote that when he spoke to Taylor, the reality star maintained that the encounter was "consensual." The officer later added that he did not believe Taylor was "truthful in this interview," and thus requested the warrant.

Taylor was arrested by the College Station Police Department on Aug. 4 and released the same day on two $4,000 surety bonds.

Taylor has not responded to EW's requests for comment, but he denied the allegations in a statement to PEOPLE following his arrest. "I would never hurt anybody," he said. "I’m nice to EVERY person I meet."

He was previously arrested in his native Texas in 2022 on charges pertaining to driving while intoxicated and unlawfully carrying a weapon. The year prior, Taylor, an outspoken Donald Trump supporter, was declared "exiled" from Bachelor Nation by series creator Mike Fleiss after he encouraged people to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6.
