Authorities have deemed Alan Ritchson’s alleged physical altercation with a neighbor as self-defense.
According to a report by Entertainment Weekly, published on Tuesday, March 24, the Reacher star was cleared of criminal charges as a result of a video that seemingly depicted him beating up another person in a residential neighborhood. The footage, released by TMZ on Sunday, March 22, was accompanied by a statement from Ritchson’s alleged neighbor Ronnie Taylor, who said that he was the victim.
“After reviewing available evidence, including video footage and witness statements, authorities determined that no criminal charges will be pursued. Mr. Ritchson’s actions were found to be in self-defense,” Brentwood Police Captain Steven Pepin told EW.
Us Weekly has reached out to Brentwood Police Department for comment.

Pepin added that a “reckless endangerment charge” was considered, however the actor “declined to pursue charges.”
The law enforcement official concluded, “With the agreement of the District Attorney’s Office, the case is now closed, and no further action will be taken.”
TMZ reported that a dispute erupted over excessive noise, according to Taylor. It detailed that the neighbor initially spoke with the actor about riding his motorbike — specifically going at excessive speeds and revving his engine — through their Nashville suburb. Taylor then allegedly flipped Ritchson off, who returned the gesture.
