The 33-year-old followed someone to a nearby gas station from Mohegan Sun on June 7, 2022 after seeing them in possession of a significant sum of money. Taylor flashed a knife at the victim who was pumping gas into their vehicle at the time and proceeded to take the cash following a struggle. The victim tried to stop Taylor and an accomplice from escaping, holding onto their car as it sped away before falling off and suffering minor injuries.

Mohegan Sun Police used surveillance footage to identify the suspects and their vehicle and forensics found Taylor’s DNA on the victim.
