Warrant Issued to Bucs Cornerback

By Justin Worsley,

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib is in legal trouble again as a Dallas-area suburb has issued a warrant for the 25-year-old's arrest for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Talib is being accused, along with his mother, of firing a gun at his sister's boyfriend on March 21. The man was not injured in the incident.

Talib's mother, Okolo, turned herself in on Monday. Police say Talib is expected to turn himself in later this week. According to the Garland Police Department, Talib's bail will be set at $25,000.

A spokesman for the Garland police told Tampa station WDAE (620 am) that detectives met with Talib last week and did not charge him until they finished their investigation. If convicted, Talib faces prison sentence between five to 20 years.

Talib was suspended for the first game of the 2010 season after being arrested following an altercation with a cab driver in 2009.

Though the NFL and the players are in a lock out while the labor situation is resolved, commissioner Roger Gooddell stated last week that all players must still adhere to the league's personal conduct policy and he will discipline players once a collective bargaining agreement is made.
