Lawrence Taylor Reeked of Cigars & Booze ... During DUI Arrest
Lawrence Taylor wasn't sure what county he was in when he allegedly crashed into a police car while drunk ... this according to cops on the scene.
In the arrest report, obtained by TMZ Sports, Palm Beach County cops say they responded to a crash around 5:22 PM on Friday ... where another officer said he had been hit by a silver sedan driven by LT.
Taylor was waiting on the scene ... and cops say he had all the signs of a drunk person -- stunk of cigars and booze, had bloodshot eyes and was unsteady of his feet.
When police asked him where he was, he responded "Broward" ... which is a different county about an hour south of the crash scene. Cops also said they asked him how much he had to drink and he said "apparently too much."
He was placed under arrest after failing field sobriety tests.
According to the report, LT told police he had just suffered an injury and felt like he was going to throw up, so cops called an ambulance and briefly took him to the hospital before booking him into the jail.
Cops say they took two breath samples five hours after the crash, which registered at .082 and .084.
He's due in court at the end of the month.

Lawrence Taylor Hall of Fame Timing In DUI Arrest
You could say Lawrence Taylor's the luckiest guy to ever get busted for DUI -- or at the very least he timed it out perfectly.
We found out the NFL Hall of Famer's arrest Friday in Florida came exactly ONE day after his 6 year probation in his sexual misconduct conviction ended.
A rep for the Rockland County DA's office tells us ... LT filed an application to end his probation early a few months ago. The DA's office was against it, but a judge granted the request and ordered his probation terminated on September 1.
24 hours earlier and the DUI arrest could have triggered a probation violation and jail time for Taylor.
It's possible LT was excessively celebrating the judge's decision when he got into the alleged drunken crash.

As we previously reported, 28-year-old Keo was pulled over in Idaho on Feb. 13th for a busted taillight ... and during the stop, officers believed Shiloh was drunk.
Keo was put in the back of a squad car -- where he waited for more than an hour -- and decided to vent about the situation to the camera inside the vehicle. And boy, did he vent.
Not only does he call BS on the taillight situation -- but says, "Hey Obama, I can't wait to meet you bro."
"Tell you about this bull****. This is why we have riots throughout the country, cause of this bull****."
"You wanna know why s*** is f****d? This is bull****."

'Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta' Star Cops Say Not So Innocent in 'Brutality' Video
"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Tommie Lee was flat out lying when she claimed she was brutalized for no reason by cops -- at least according to the police report -- but she maintains she's innocent.
Tommie blasted the Georgia State Patrol Tuesday, posting a video of an officer yanking her from the backseat of a Jeep back in January and arresting her. She claimed she was a passenger and was manhandled for no reason.
According to the police report -- obtained by TMZ -- when deputies pulled the Jeep over in the ATL area they noticed lots of movement in the vehicle.
Deputies say the guy in the driver's seat first lied, but then admitted he had switched with Tommie -- who jumped in the back.
That would explain why deputies wanted Tommie out of the backseat. They demanded she step out of the vehicle several times, but she held her ground. Deputies then pulled her out and hooked her up.
Cops say Tommie's eyes were watery, bloodshot and her speech was slurred, so she was booked for drunk driving, disorderly conduct and driving on an expired license.
And, for bad measure, she peed herself in the cruiser on the way to the station.
Tommie tells us the police report is BS, and insists she did nothing wrong. On the peeing ... she blames deputies for not taking her to a bathroom.
