Rex Ryan Charged in Nashville Crash

These are misdemeanor traffic warrants after a crash police say caused minor injuries, not a felony assault case. Turning himself in, and a bond, do not decide whether he drove through the crosswalk or left without giving his information. That is what a court would still have to hear.

Former Jets and Bills coach Rex Ryan, 63, turned himself in to Nashville police on Wednesday morning and was booked on six misdemeanor warrants. Police say his pickup struck two pedestrians shortly before midnight Thursday, Nov. 5, at Fourth Avenue and Broadway. Both people had minor injuries.

The pedestrians were crossing Broadway on a walk signal when the truck turned right from Fourth Avenue. They told officers the truck ran over both of their feet and struck one person's leg, kept going, and stopped for a red light at Representative John Lewis Way. They said they caught up with him there. He got out, argued, and drove off without giving his information. They photographed the driver and a plate registered to Ryan.

The warrants charge two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two counts of failure to give information or render aid, and two counts of failure to obey a traffic control signal. A judicial commissioner set bond at $6,000. Jail records showed he was released Wednesday morning.

All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
