Last year, former NFL wide receiver Titus Young—who, at one point, was seen as a promising young talent in the league—was arrested two times in the same day. The first time he was arrested for suspicion of DUI. And then, a short time later, he was arrested again for trying to steal his own car back from police after getting released from jail.

Since then, we haven't heard his name come up much. And truth be told, that's actually a good thing for Young, who has seemingly kept himself out of trouble over the course of the last year. But unfortunately, it doesn't sound like that trend is going to continue. Because according to the Detroit Free Press, Young was arrested on a felony charge in Los Angeles last week after allegedly getting into a fight with a man.

According to the DFP report, Young was hit with a battery with serious bodily injury charge last Wednesday after he allegedly punched a man in the face and knocked him out during a fight. He was also hit with several misdemeanor charges, including battery of school, park, or hospital property, and is in custody in the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in L.A. No further details have been released. But if the charges stick, Young could be in some serious trouble.

Stay tuned for additional details. At this point, it's safe to say that Young, who is just 24, will not play in the NFL again. But we sincerely hope he's able to move past all of these legal transgressions and get his life together again.
