Hamilton County Judge Bernie Bouchard refused to grant Taylor-Britt community service after her court hearing, according to ESPN.
The misdemeanor charge of reckless driving was punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $250 fine or a combination of both. Bouchard insisted that Taylor-Britt serve her prison sentence immediately.

“It’s a gift,” he told Taylor-Britt in court, according to ESPN. “Five days instead of 30. He has to do them now. It will be over soon.”
After pleading guilty, Taylor-Britt was taken into custody and booked into jail at 11:23 a.m.
Taylor-Britt is expected to be released on January 11.
Three months before her street racing citation, Taylor-Britt was ticketed for reckless driving around Race Street on June 18, police records show.

Taylor-Britt will enter free agency this offseason with his rookie contract with the Bengals set to expire with the new league year.
He also arrived at court on crutches as he recovers from a Lisfranc injury to his left foot, which required surgery.
“I just want to apologize, first of all, for the actions I put everyone through,” he said in court. “Not intentional in [any] path.”
Taylor-Britt had 203 combined tackles, two forced fumbles, seven interceptions and 38 passes defensed in four years in Cincinnati.

While Taylor-Britt said he would love to be back with the Bengals, he had a health issue earlier this season. Since then, they have used Dax Hill and DJ Turner II as their two best cornerbacks.
