2 min read

Rex Ryan, the former head coach of the New York Jets, has been arrested in connection with an alleged incident in Nashville where he is accused of running over the feet of two pedestrians. The incident occurred on November 5 near the popular Broadway Street, just before midnight, according to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD).

Incident Details and Police Report

According to the police report, Ryan was driving a pickup truck when he turned right from 4th Avenue onto Broadway, running over the feet of two pedestrians who were crossing the street with a walk signal. The report states that Ryan did not stop after the collision and continued driving, eventually stopping at a red light at the intersection of Broadway and Representative John Lewis Way.

The pedestrians reportedly waved down Ryan, who then stepped out of the truck to argue with them, got back in, and drove away. They took pictures of the truck’s license plate, which is registered to Ryan. The incident is now under investigation by the MNPD.

Charges and Legal Proceedings

Ryan has been charged with leaving the scene of an accident, failing to give information or render aid, and failing to obey a traffic control signal. These charges are based on multiple counts, with each offense carrying its own legal consequences. His bond was set at $6,000, and records show he left the jail early on Wednesday.

Ryan, 63, is known for his humorous notoriety in 2010 when a foot fetish video he filmed of his wife gained national attention. This incident adds a new chapter to his public persona, which has often been in the spotlight due to his unique personality and media presence.

Public Reaction and Legal Implications

The incident has sparked public interest and discussion, particularly regarding road safety and driver responsibility. While the full details of the case are still under review, the charges against Ryan highlight the seriousness of the legal consequences for such actions. The case also underscores the importance of following traffic laws and prioritizing pedestrian safety.
