Former New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan was arrested in Nashville this week after allegedly running over two pedestrians’ feet with his pickup truck and leaving the scene, according to police reports.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department confirmed Ryan turned himself in Wednesday on six outstanding misdemeanor warrants related to the November 5 incident near Broadway Street. Authorities say the 63-year-old ex-NFL coach struck the victims while making a right turn, then drove away after a brief confrontation.
The Alleged Incident
Police reports state the pedestrians were legally crossing Broadway with a walk signal when Ryan’s truck turned onto the street, running over both victims’ feet and making contact with one person’s leg. Witnesses told officers the vehicle initially kept going before stopping at a red light, where the pedestrians confronted Ryan.
“The driver stepped out to argue with them, got back in, and drove away,” MNPD stated. The victims photographed Ryan’s license plate before reporting the incident.
Charges and Aftermath
Ryan faces multiple charges including leaving the scene of an accident and failing to render aid. The New York Post reported his bond was set at $6,000, and jail records show he was released Wednesday morning.
The arrest revives memories of Ryan’s 2010 viral foot fetish video scandal during his Jets coaching tenure. No attorney information was immediately available regarding the new charges.
