According to police, McCants was loitering in a business parking lot on Highway 45 Friday night, along with two women who were attempting to flag down motorists.
When officers confronted McCants, he became hostile and refused to drop a screwdriver, a pair of pliers and a crack pipe. Police say he threw the items, almost hitting an officer in the head.
McCants was tasered, arrested and booked into Prichard City Jail and charged with loitering, resisting arrest and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Prichard Police did not provide any information on the two women with McCants, saying it was part of an on-going investigation.
Back in February, Mobile Police arrested McCants at a vacant house on State Street and charged him with loitering and possession of drug paraphernalia.
McCants was born in Mobile and played football at Murphy High School and the University of Alabama. He was drafted in 1990 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and played 6 years in the NFL.

Why should I support sports? I think we need to be honest and admit that high school/college sports, i.e. Football, have absolutely no redeeming value, with the exception of establishing a new generation of war mongers. It’s a turf war today, and a real war when you graduate. Football/sports become the only thing these guys care about, kind of like drugs. McCants just jumped from one to the other.
