Former NFL HC Rex Ryan Arrested After Allegedly Running Over Feet of Two Pedestrians
Former NFL HC Rex Ryan was arrested Wednesday morning in Nashville after allegedly running over the feet of two pedestrians with his pickup truck last week. Police say Ryan continued driving before the pedestrians caught up to him at a red light. He allegedly got out, argued with them, and drove away without exchanging information.
Ryan now faces six misdemeanor charges, including leaving the scene of an accident, failing to provide information or aid, and failing to obey traffic signals. Not good. Furthermore, the authorities say that Rex Ryan apparently recklessly drove over both victims’ feet and struck one in the leg while they were crossing with a walk signal. Ryan turned himself in to Nashville police Wednesday morning.
According to Nashville PD, the former Jets coach was driving his truck just before midnight last Thursday. The injured pedestrians also revealed to cops that Ryan had bolted without exchanging information. However, they were able to think fast and snap a photo of his license plate.
Police say the pedestrians were crossing Broadway with a walk signal when Ryan turned right. Resulting in minor injuries to the victims. There were witnesses who saw the entire incident. Witnesses say Ryan continued driving before stopping at a red light, where the victims confronted him.
This was not a friendly exchange. Witnesses report things escalated into quite a heated dialogue. Ryan allegedly got out, argued with them, then proceeded to completely leave the scene of the hit-and-run and drive away.
