Rex Ryan Arrested For Running Over Feet Of Two Pedestrians In Pickup Truck

Former New York Jets coach Rex Ryan was arrested in Nashville after turning himself in over allegations that his pickup truck struck two pedestrians. Police say the incident happened shortly before midnight on 5 November, and that Ryan drove away after speaking with the pedestrians. The case matters because he faces several traffic-related charges; the pedestrians reportedly suffered minor injuries.

Police say the pedestrians were crossing Broadway with a walk signal when Ryan turned right from 4th Avenue, running over both their feet and contacting one person’s leg. They later stopped the truck at a red light, took photographs of its number plate and driver, and reported the incident. Ryan faces six misdemeanour charges, was released on $6,000 bail and is due in court in December. He coached the Jets from 2009 to 2014 and the Buffalo Bills for two seasons before becoming a broadcaster.
