Alan Ritchson may be feeling some vindication. The Reacher star made headlines after a fight broke out between him and one of his neighbors in Tennessee. Some people are coming forward in support of the actor.
A source claims that Alan was riding his motorcycle down the street in Brentwood, Tennessee, just before a violent confrontation took place. The previous video shows a man believed to be Alan allegedly giving his neighbor a beatdown. Now, though, it looks like there may be something or someone that could exonerate him.
Witnesses saw Alan Ritchson and Ronnie Taylor’s confrontation
There might be another layer to the fight involving Alan. Sources tell TMZ that witnesses have come forward to describe what happened in the moments leading up to the altercation. Their version of events suggests the neighbor was trying to instigate a fight.
One person claimed that Alan’s neighbor Ronnie Taylor, bolted down the street when Alan was on the motorcycle. They say that Ronnie tried to stop him while acting “really aggressive.” Alan’s two kids were on mini-bikes behind him at the time. Because of the neighbor’s alleged actions, Alan crashed his bike. What followed, according to witnesses, was Ronnie apparently trying to bait Alan into hitting him. Reports suggest that Alan was doing his best to diffuse the situation, but Ronnie was having none of it.
As Alan was apparently walking away, Ronnie allegedly shoved him to the ground, prompting Alan to retaliate, seemingly in self-defence. Ronnie claims that Alan had been riding his bike at excessive speeds for days, and he wanted to confront him about it. Alan reportedly suffered cuts and bruises and a minor injury to his finger.
According to a source close to Alan, noted that Ronnie “initiated and instigated” everything which transpired. Alan is said to be fully cooperating with the police, while no one has been arrested.
