Ernest Wilford Tased, Arrested: Ex-Jaguars Receiver Booked In Jacksonville

Ex-Jaguars Receiver Tased, Arrested

Former Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Ernest Wilford was arrested and tased early on Friday for trespassing and resisting arrest without violence, according to News4Jax.com.

The police report says that Wilford "inappropriately touched at least two women" at a Jacksonville Beach bar at about 1 a.m. When two police officers asked him to leave, Wilford refused and said, "I'm not going anywhere."

The report also says that two taser shocks were needed to bring the 31-year-old down:

According to the report, when Wilford pushed an officer in the chest, one officer fired his Taser gun. As Wilford did not go down, the second officer delivered a shock with a contact stun gun, which took him to the floor. Officers said Wilford continued to resist being restrained and it took both officers to get both arms behind him to get him in handcuffs

Wilford was booked into jail just before 4 a.m. and was released before 10 a.m.

The Jaguars picked Wilford in the fourth round of the 2004 NFL draft. He spent four seasons with Jacksonville and then got picked up by the Miami Dolphins. Wilford went back to the Jaguars after being cut in 2009, but only played two games in 2010.
