Former Jaguars tight end Ernest Wilford Jr. was booked into jail early Friday on charges of trespassing and resisting arrest without violence after police said he was creating a disturbance and refused to leave a Jacksonville Beach bar. According to the arrest report, Wilford, 31, inappropriately touched at least two women at the Ritz on Third Avenue about 1 a.m. and did not leave when requested. Two Jacksonville Beach police officers who were called also said Wilford refused to leave, telling him, "I'm not going anywhere. According to the report, when Wilford pushed an officer in the chest, one officer fired his Taser gun. As Wilford did not go down, the second officer delivered a shock with a contact stun gun, which took him to the floor and officers said Wilford continued to resist being restrained and it took both officers to get both arms behind him to get him in handcuffs. According the report, Wilford had a strong odor of alcohol and could not stand without swaying and rambled as he spoke.
