Former NFL coach and ESPN analyst Rex Ryan was arrested in Nashville for allegedly running over the feet of two pedestrians with his pickup truck on November 5.
The incident occurred when the pedestrians were crossing with a walk signal, and Ryan's truck turned right, striking their feet and making contact with one person's leg.
After the collision, Ryan reportedly stopped briefly to argue with the pedestrians but then fled the scene, despite being flagged down and photographed.
Ryan faces six misdemeanor charges, including two counts each of leaving the scene of an accident, failure to provide information or aid, and failure to obey a traffic control signal.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department confirmed Ryan turned himself in on the outstanding warrants related to the incident.
