Rex Ryan turned himself in to Nashville police on Wednesday, and the details are as messy as they sound. Police say his pickup truck ran over the feet of two people crossing Broadway, and that he argued with them at a red light before driving off.
The Nashville police department says it happened just before midnight on November 5. The two pedestrians were crossing Broadway from 4th Avenue with the walk sign when the truck turned right off 4th Avenue and caught both of them. Both had minor injuries.
“The pedestrians were crossing Broadway from 4th Avenue with a walk sign when the pickup truck turned right from 4th Avenue running over both victims’ feet and making contact with one of the individual’s legs.”
Police say the truck kept going, then stopped at the red light at Broadway and Representative John Lewis Way. The pedestrians caught up, waved the driver down, and say he got out, argued with them, got back in and drove away. They took pictures of the truck and its license plate, which police say is registered to Ryan.
Ryan, 63, was booked into the Davidson County Jail on six misdemeanor warrants: two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two counts of failure to give information or render aid, and two counts of failure to obey a traffic control signal. His bond was set at $6,000. Police did not include a statement from Ryan or a representative in their account.
“They said he stepped out of the truck to argue with them, got back in, and drove away.”
Ryan coached the New York Jets and the Buffalo Bills and now works as an ESPN analyst. Feet have followed his headlines for a long time. This time they put him in a booking photo.
