## Summary

ESPN said it was aware of Rex Ryan’s arrest and was in contact with him, but offered no further comment. The former NFL coach and current ESPN analyst faces charges over an alleged hit-and-run in Nashville, raising questions about the network’s response as he continues to appear on its programmes.

Police say Ryan turned himself in on Wednesday over a 5 November incident. He is accused of striking two pedestrians who were crossing Broadway with a walk signal, then driving on before stopping at a red light and leaving after arguing with them. Ryan faces charges of leaving the scene, failing to provide information or aid, and failing to obey a traffic signal; his bond was set at $6,000 and he was released shortly after booking.
