Former NFL head coach Rex Ryan was arrested after allegedly driving over the feet of two pedestrians in Nashville. Ryan, 63, turned himself in on November 11th, following an incident that occurred just after midnight on November 5th. Police say he made a right turn and struck two people crossing the street, then kept driving. The victims chased him to a red light, where a confrontation occurred. They photographed his license plate after he left without exchanging information. Ryan was charged with two counts each of leaving the scene, failing to render aid, and failing to obey traffic signals. His bond was set at $5,000. Ryan previously coached the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills before joining ESPN as an NFL analyst.
