Bodycam footage released on Monday, March 24, 2026, shows Alan Ritchson, the 43-year-old star of Amazon's series *Reacher*, engaging in a physical altercation with his neighbor, Ronnie Taylor, on a suburban street in Tennessee. The incident, which occurred on Sunday, March 23, 2026, is currently under investigation by the Brentwood Tennessee Police Department.
The footage, shared on TikTok and obtained by TMZ, captures the sequence of events leading up to the confrontation. According to reports, Taylor was visibly agitated as he approached Ritchson, who was riding a green Kawasaki motorcycle with his two young children also on bikes. Taylor reportedly left his property, crossed a sidewalk, and entered the middle of the street where Ritchson was riding.
Taylor alleged that the dispute began the previous day, Saturday, when Ritchson was riding his motorcycle through the upscale neighborhood at what Taylor described as "excessive speed," revving the engine loudly. Taylor claimed he gestured disapprovingly at Ritchson, who allegedly responded in kind. The following day, around noon on Sunday, Ritchson returned to ride through the neighborhood with two children. Taylor stated he approached Ritchson, asking, "Can you f*****g stop this please," which he claims escalated the confrontation.
In the bodycam footage, Taylor is seen allegedly stepping directly in front of Ritchson's moving motorcycle, positioning himself in a wide-legged stance to block the actor's path. This action appeared to provoke Ritchson, who then set his motorcycle down on the pavement and stepped toward Taylor. During the verbal exchange, Taylor can be heard accusing Ritchson of riding "like a f***ing lunatic" and expressing concern for children living in the neighborhood. Ritchson reportedly responded by telling Taylor he was out of his "f***ing mind" and questioned whether Taylor had been drinking. Ritchson also stated that he should have "run him over" when Taylor stepped into the street.
Following this exchange, Ritchson picked up his motorcycle, mounted it, replaced his helmet, and repeatedly revved the engine. Taylor then reportedly shoved Ritchson and his motorcycle into the street on two separate occasions. Ritchson then responded by striking Taylor in the face multiple times with his fists. After the blows landed, Ritchson told Taylor to "stay down."
TMZ also obtained a photograph showing Taylor with bruises and cuts on his face following the altercation. Taylor stated the incident left him with bruises and swelling, though he did not seek hospital treatment. He alleged Ritchson punched him in the face and kicked him, and that Ritchson struck him "at least four times," including once in the back of the head. Witnesses from the neighborhood reportedly observed the altercation.
A separate video of the fight, recorded from a neighboring home, shows Ritchson throwing multiple punches at Taylor while two children on motorbikes, believed to be Ritchson’s sons, watched nearby. After the confrontation, Ritchson is seen in the bodycam footage picking up his helmet, grabbing his bike, and then losing control of the motorcycle, which veered onto a lawn. He subsequently remounted the bike and rode away, followed by the two young riders.
Alan Ritchson, known for his roles in *Smallville*, *Blue Mountain State*, and films such as *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles* and *The Hunger Games: Catching Fire*, stands 6 feet 3 inches tall. He has publicly disclosed a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, according to the Daily Mail. Ritchson shares three sons with his wife, Catherine, whom he married in 2006. The Brentwood Tennessee Police Department confirmed its active investigation into the incident.
