Titus Young could never keep himself out of trouble while he was in the NFL. Now the young talent finds himself in trouble once again.
Young was arrested on Monday and charged with five counts of felony battery. Bail was set at $105,000.
Young was drafted into the NFL in the second round by the Detroit Lions out of Boise State. Even in his college days at Boise State, Young was frequently in trouble and suspended from the team. He was kicked out of pre-draft training facility forcing many teams to pass on him.
In 2012 with the Lions, Young was sent home twice, once for sucker-punching Louis Delmas and once for infractions during a game against Green Bay. He would never play for the Lions again as they deactivated for the next two games before placing him on injured reserve for the remainder of the season. The Lions released Young in February of 2013. He was briefly picked up by the St. Louis Rams who released just 10 days later due to his behavior. He would never play professional football again.
In May of 2013, Young was arrested three times in five days with two of the arrest occurring on the same day. Shortly after, Young's father revealed that the young athlete had a mental disorder and needed treatment. In August of 2013 a bench warrant was issued for Young after he missed a court date from the original burglary charges. In December, the Orange County prosecutor's office said they were close to a settlement in the criminal case, but the trial was delayed when Young was hospitalized for an unspecified treatment.
Young will most likely face jail time with the latest charges.
