Aqib Talib Surrenders, Is Booked On Aggravated Assault Charges

Stay connected for news and updates

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib has surrendered to police in Garland, TX, according to NFL reporter Rick Stroud, ending a bizarre three-day stretch in which police sought him as a “person of interest” in a shooting which took place at his sister’s home on March 21, and beginning what is sure to be a long struggle with the law. More details about the night in question are available here.

Stroud says police booked Talib for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony, following his surrender.

Talib, 24, led the Bucs with six interceptions last season; he also ranked ninth on the team by tallying 40 tackles. He’s valuable to the team, but the allegations against him are so serious the Bucs issued a statement expressing their concern, which violates NFL rules due to the current work stoppage. That Tampa Bay risked a penalty to make that statement attests to how seriously it’s taking Talib’s situation.
