Rex Ryan Faces Six Misdemeanor Charges in Nashville

Ryan turned himself in to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department on November 11 to face six misdemeanor charges stemming from a late-night incident on Broadway, police said. The two pedestrians were crossing from 4th Avenue with a walk signal shortly before midnight on November 5, according to police. Officers said Ryan’s truck turned onto Broadway and ran over both people’s feet, also making contact with one person’s leg. Their injuries were described as minor.

Police said the truck continued on before stopping at a red light near Representative John Lewis Way. The pedestrians flagged down the driver, whom police identified as Ryan. He got out and argued with them, then returned to the truck and drove away, police said. The pedestrians took photographs of the vehicle’s license plate and its driver.

The charges include two counts each of leaving the scene of an accident, failing to provide information or render aid, and disobeying a traffic signal. Ryan had to post $6,000 in bond.

From 2009 through 2014, Ryan led the Jets to consecutive championship games. He is now an NFL analyst for ESPN.
