Alan Ritchson attends the 'War Machine' Australian Premiere on Feb. 7, 2026. Kierra Thorn/Getty Images Reacher star Alan Ritchson will not face charges following a physical altercation between him and his neighbor in the Nashville suburb of Brentwood, Tennessee.
On Tuesday (March 24), the Brentwood Police Department shared a statement with Rolling Stone saying, “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. Although a potential reckless endangerment charge was considered, Mr. Ritchson declined to pursue charges. With the agreement of the District Attorney’s Office, the case is now closed, and no further action will be taken.”
A rep for Ritchson did not immediately return Rolling Stone‘s request for comment.
The incident took place this past weekend. Ronnie Taylor, a Brentwood resident, claimed on March 21 that he saw Ritchson speeding around the area on a motorcycle, which he claimed caused a disturbance. In response, Taylor claimed he flipped Ritchson the bird, raising his middle finger at the actor, who returned the same gesture to Taylor.
