Rex Ryan, the former head coach of the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills and a current ESPN analyst, has been arrested in Nashville on allegations that he ran over the feet of two pedestrians with his truck, according to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.
The incident occurred on November 5 when Ryan's pickup truck turned right from 4th Avenue onto Broadway, striking both victims as they crossed with the walk signal, police said. The truck made contact with one person's legs as well. Ryan turned himself in on six outstanding misdemeanor warrants.
According to the police report, the pedestrians claimed the vehicle continued driving but stopped at a red light at Broadway and Representative John Lewis Way, where they flagged down the driver. They told authorities that Ryan exited the truck, argued with them, then returned to his vehicle and drove away. The pedestrians took photos of the truck's license plate and the driver.
Ryan is charged with two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two counts of failure to give information/render aid, and two counts of failure to obey a traffic control signal.
Ryan gained notoriety in 2010 when a foot-fetish video surfaced online. Last month on ESPN, he joked about the situation, saying, "I'm an expert in a few things. One of them is feet."
