A former Arkansas State football player was arrested Thursday night due to his alleged involvement in the death of his pregnant girlfriend.

Blaise Taylor, who currently works as a staffer at Texas A&M, is accused of poisoning Jade Benning, killing her and her unborn child.

Benning was rushed to the hospital on February 25 of last year. Taylor called 911, saying that Benning had an allergic reaction. She was unable to speak to police before she died, because, as ESPN notes, her condition had grown critical quickly.

Benning was five months pregnant at the time. The fetus died on February 27, and Benning died on March 6, her 25th birthday. The alleged incident occurred in Nashville.

Because of the fetus' death, Taylor has been hit with two first-degree murder charges. Taylor is believed to have fathered the child.

U.S. Marshals arrested Taylor in Utah, serving an indictment from Nashville police. Taylor had worked for the Tennessee Titans.
