Feet are getting Rex Ryan into trouble again.
The former Jets head coach was arrested on Wednesday in Nashville, Tenn., authorities announced.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said in a statement that Ryan turned himself in “on six outstanding misdemeanor warrants” after he was accused of “striking two pedestrians with his pickup truck” just before midnight on Nov. 5 on the city’s famed Broadway street.
Ryan allegedly ran over their feet.
Ryan famously became national news when he was Jets coach over his foot fetish after a video of his wife surfaced.
“The pedestrians were crossing Broadway from 4th Avenue with a walk sign when the pickup truck turned right from 4th Avenue running over both victims’ feet and making contact with one of the individual’s legs,” the Metropolitan Nashville PD said.
“The pedestrians said the vehicle kept going, but stopped for the red light at Broadway and Representative John Lewis Way where they waved down the driver (Ryan). They said he stepped out of the truck to argue with them, got back in, and drove away. They took pictures of the truck’s license plate (registered the Ryan) and the driver.”
Ryan has been hit with charges of leaving the scene of an accident (2), failure to give information/render aid (2), and failure to obey a traffic control signal (2), according to law enforcement.
His bond was set at $6,000, the Metropolitan Nashville PD added.
Jail records show Ryan, 63, was released from custody early Wednesday morning.
Ryan became the head coach of the Jets in 2009 and managed the team’s sideline until 2014. He piled up a 61-66 record during his eight seasons in New York.
Ryan went on to coach the Bills for two seasons before he moved into broadcasting.
Ryan’s appeared regularly on ESPN since, most recently making headlines on Nov. 1 for calling out Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty for his controversial comments about the Jets’ defense.
It’s not yet clear why Ryan was in Nashville this month, though he did just make an appearance on “Bussin’ with the Boys,” a popular podcast that’s filmed in the Music City.
