⚖️ Rex Ryan surrenders in Nashville on six misdemeanor warrants

Rex Ryan, the former Jets and Bills head coach, turned himself in to Nashville police on Wednesday morning, Nov. 11, on six misdemeanor warrants, according to NBC Sports and CBS Sports. The warrants stem from a Nov. 5 incident in which, police say, his pickup truck ran over the feet of two pedestrians.

Who says what

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department says the pedestrians were crossing Broadway from 4th Avenue with a walk sign when the truck turned right and ran over both victims' feet and touched one person's leg, per NBC Sports quoting the department. CBS New York reports police consider the injuries minor.

Police say the pedestrians told them the truck kept going, then stopped at a red light at Broadway and Representative John Lewis Way. They say they waved the driver down, that he stepped out to argue, got back in and drove off, according to WPTV. TMZ reports the pair photographed the license plate. CBS Sports says the plate was registered to Ryan.

The booking record, as CBS Sports and WPTV report it: 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. A judicial commissioner set bond at $6,000, per CBS Sports. These are charges, not findings.

The response

No statement from Ryan or his representatives appears in the reports read. ESPN, where CBS New York says he is an NFL analyst, gave the network a one-line statement.

"We are aware and are in touch with Rex"

ESPN statement, as reported by CBS New York

What happens next

None of the reports read gives a court date, a plea or an attorney's name. Whether ESPN or any league body will act is not stated in the sources.

Backstory

CBS New York says Ryan coached the Jets from 2009 to 2014. CBS Sports puts his overall head coaching record at 65-68 and says he last coached in the NFL in 2016 with the Bills.

NBC Sports notes that last month on ESPN he said: "I'm an expert in a few things. One of them is feet." That is context only. The record in this case is the six warrants.

As of Nov 11, 1:19 PM ET, the confirmed part is that Ryan surrendered, that six misdemeanor charges are listed and that bond is $6,000, according to the outlets above. Still pending: a court date, any plea, any statement from Ryan himself and any word on his ESPN role beyond "in touch." The pedestrians' account is what police relayed; nothing in the reports read shows it tested in court.
