Jayceon Terrell Taylor, a native of Compton, California,
surrendered around noon over the March 29 incident where he
punched the officer during a scrimmage at Hollywood High School,
said Los Angeles police spokesman Mike Lopez.
He was booked on suspicion of making criminal threats, a felony,
and released about an hour later after posting $50,000 bail,
Lopez said.
Lopez said a video purporting to show the incident had been
uploaded to the Internet but he did not verify its authenticity.
On Monday, Taylor posted a photo to Instagram showing him
squatting in front of the Hollywood station of the Los Angeles
Police Department with the caption "Waiting on my uber lol".
