## Summary

Rex Ryan has hired criminal defence lawyer David Raybin after being arrested over allegations that his pickup truck ran over pedestrians’ feet in Nashville. Raybin said he had only just begun representing Ryan, was co-operating with the investigation and was waiting for information from police.

Police say the incident happened on Lower Broadway on 5 November, when Ryan allegedly struck two people’s feet and one person’s leg while turning. They allege he later argued with the pedestrians and drove away; Ryan faces six misdemeanour charges, including leaving the scene of an accident and failing to obey a traffic signal. He turned himself in on Wednesday, was released after posting $6,000 bond, and ESPN said it was aware of the matter and in contact with him.
