Police Finally Have Their Say On Alan Ritchson’s Fist Fight With Neighbor

The massive “Reacher” star had kept quiet on the viral brawl.

Actor Alan Ritchson and the neighbor he punched repeatedly in a street brawl will walk away without any charges, according to reports on Monday.

TMZ video of the hulking “Reacher” star appearing to pummel Ronnie Taylor in their Nashville suburb of Brentwood on Sunday went viral.

But authorities determined that Ritchson, who plays an ex-Army cop-turned ass-kicking road vigilante in the Amazon Prime series, was protecting himself.

“After reviewing available evidence, including video footage and witness statements, authorities determined that no criminal charges will be pursued,” the Brentwood Police Department said in a statement to the Daily Mail. “Mr. Ritchson’s actions were found to be in self-defense. Although a potential reckless endangerment charge was considered, Mr. Ritchson declined to pursue charges. ... No further action will be taken.”

Before word filtered out that he had been exonerated, the “War Machine” performer shared a Napoleon Bonaparte quote on Instagram that read, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
