Former NFL head coach Rex Ryan turned himself in to authorities in Nashville, Tenn., on Wednesday morning.
Ryan was driving his pickup truck when he ran over the feet of two pedestrians around midnight, according to a report by Brittney Baird from WKRN in Nashville.
Ryan was turning right at a stoplight when the pedestrians were crossing the street. Ryan then ran over their feet and kept driving.
The pedestrians chased Ryan, and it led to an argument before the ex-NFL coach got in his truck and drove off.
The pedestrians were able to capture a picture of Ryan’s license plate, and he turned himself in to police on Wednesday morning.
Ryan currently works as an NFL analyst for ESPN, although he almost wound up being hired by John Harbaugh as the New York Giants’ defensive coordinator this past offseason.
ESPN released a statement on Ryan: “We are aware and are in touch with Rex.”
Ryan spent time during his coaching career as the head coach of the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets. He moved to Nashville in 2014.
According to the report, Ryan is now facing 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.
The bond for Rex Ryan is set at $6,000, and he will have a court hearing on Dec. 18.
