The female accuser in the altercation that led to former Alabama defensive tackle Jonathan Taylor being arrested on domestic violence charges Saturday has recanted her accusations, according to a release from the Tuscaloosa Police Department.

Taylor, who was dismissed from Alabama's team Sunday following the incident, was charged with domestic violence third-degree assault and domestic violence third-degree criminal mischief.

The 24-year old accuser told police that she had been in a verbal confrontation that turned physical with the 6-foot-4, 335-pound Taylor, according to the release.

Police arrested Taylor after the accuser told them that he caused injuries to her neck and damaged property in her apartment.

She contacted police Monday to recant her claims and told investigators that Taylor had not harmed her during the incident.

The accuser was further interviewed by police Tuesday and maintained that she had lied about the details of the incident Saturday.

She was charged with false reporting to law enforcement and placed in county jail before posting bond and being released.

A spokesman for the Tuscaloosa Homicide Department, which is handling the case, said the charges against Taylor will likely be reviewed within the next month. The spokesman said the department will look to review the charges in a "timely manner."

Taylor was dismissed by Georgia last July after two arrests, including one on domestic violence charges.

Taylor spent last season at Copiah-Lincoln Junior College in Mississippi before signing with the Tide in January, a union that Alabama was heavily critiqued for on a national level because of Taylor's history.

A Tide football spokesman was unsure as of Wednesday morning whether Taylor could be reinstated to the team depending on the outcome of the case.

"I think it's very unfortunate, but he came here with some very specific guidelines and zero tolerance and obviously he didn't live up to that," coach Nick Saban said Monday.
