Former Arkansas State cornerback Blaise Taylor has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
Per ESPN's Adam Rittenberg, Taylor was arrested in Utah by United States marshals on Thursday after a grand jury in Nashville returned an indictment against him.
Taylor is accused of poisoning his girlfriend, Jade Benning, in February 2023 when she was five months pregnant with a child he was believed to have fathered.
"Benning was rushed to the hospital on Feb. 25 last year after Taylor called 911, saying Benning was having an allergic reaction. Her condition quickly became critical, and she was unable to speak with police before she died," Rittenberg wrote.
