NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Former NFL head coach Rex Ryan, 63, surrendered Wednesday morning at Metro Nashville police on six misdemeanor warrants, the department said.
Police said two people crossing Broadway at Fourth Avenue on a walk signal shortly before midnight on Thursday, Nov. 5, were struck by a pickup truck making a right turn. Both had minor injuries. The truck ran over their feet and hit one person in the leg.
According to police, the pedestrians caught up with the truck at a red light and the driver got out to argue before leaving. They photographed the driver and the license plate, which police said was registered to Ryan.
The six charges are split evenly: two for leaving an accident scene, two for not giving information or rendering aid, and two for disobeying a traffic signal. His bond was $6,000, set by a judicial commissioner.
Ryan was head coach of the New York Jets and later the Buffalo Bills, his last NFL job, in 2016. Before that he spent much of his career on the Baltimore Ravens defensive staff, rising to defensive coordinator in 2005, and he went 65-68 as a head coach.
