The recent news that Rex Ryan, of all people, allegedly ran over, of all the things, the feet of a pair of pedestrians in Nashville seems too crazy to be true, absent visual evidence.
Apparently, there is visual evidence.
Via TMZ.com, the incident “was captured on camera.” The video has not yet surfaced, but it presumably will at some point.
Ryan was arrested on six misdemeanor charges arising from the allegation that he ran over the feet of two people while driving a pickup truck on November 12.
ESPN hasn’t said much about the situation. From a one-line statement issued on Wednesday: “We are aware and are in touch with Rex.”
It’s unclear whether he’ll appear on Sunday morning’s ESPN pregame show, or whether he’ll make any appearances while the criminal case is pending.
Ryan, who coached the Jets and the Bills before pivoting to TV, is scheduled to appear in court next month.
