The Associated Press reported that former New Yorks Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor was involved in a hit-and-run accident on Sunday in Miami. Taylor competed on last season, season 8, of "Dancing with the Stars" with professional partner Edyta Sliwinska.

Taylor, 50, is a retired Hall of Fame football player who was with the New York Giants for his entire time in the NFL. He had been an All-American at the University of North Carolina.

According to the AP report, he was charged with a second-degree misdemeanor--leaving the scene of an accident which included property damage.

Last season of DWTS, he was the seventh celebrity eliminated out of 13 couples. Taylor and Sliwinska averaged about 20 points for 7 dances. Their lowest score was 16 for the cha cha cha (to Edwin Starr's "25 Miles") and their highest was 21 for the waltz (to Journey's "Open Arms").
