Vanderpump Rules Jax Taylor Arrested and Jailed in Hawaii For Stealing Sunglasses
Jax Taylor has worked his way to stardom on the Bravo hit reality show “Vanderpump Rules” and has an estimated net-worth around $150,000. Despite all of this success, Taylor has made several poor choices along the way that have raised questions.
On Season 2 of “Vanderpump Rules,” Taylor claimed he missed a shift at work because he was in jail. Then, during the Season 2 reunion episode, he admitted that he’d actually been incarcerated “quite a few times.” In addition to these occurrences, Taylor has been regarded as less than honest by his castmates, so his latest arrest of felony theft should come as no surprise.
On Friday night, Jax Taylor was arrested in Honolulu, Hawaii for allegedly stealing a $300 pair of sunglasses.
Reportedly, the reality star went to a sunglass store and swiped the shades then was later arrested at his hotel a block away. The felony charge stems from the dollar amount of the goods stolen – $300 is the minimum in Hawaii. Taylor is on vacation in Hawaii with his girlfriend, Brittany Taylor according to his Instagram account.
According to TMZ, Jax is still in jail with “no immediate prospect of getting out.”
The reality star actually does have quite an extensive criminal record. Check it out below.
- 2001, Michigan: Arrested for retail fraud in his home state. Charge eventually dismissed.
- 2005, Los Angeles: Convicted of reckless driving after a probable DUI arrest.
- 2008, Los Angeles: Convicted of DUI and driving with a suspended license. Sentenced to 15 days in jail less credit for two days and ordered into a program for multiple DUI offenders.
