When Hollywood action star Alan Ritchson found himself in a tussle with neighbor Ronnie Taylor, the whole neighborhood could practically hear the action movie soundtrack kick in. The Brentwood Police Department has concluded their investigation and determined that no charges will be filed against Ritchson, stating his actions during the altercation were a case of self-defense. It’s quite a plot twist, considering the brawl started over Taylor’s confrontation regarding Ritchson’s alleged reckless speeding down residential streets on motorcycles.
Footage from the incident revealed that when Taylor got in Ritchson’s face, things escalated quickly. Once Ronnie initiated the contact, Ritchson responded reflexively. And just like that, what started as a neighborhood dispute turned into a real-life action scene straight out of his movie. Instead of a Hollywood ending, though, we got a bit of real-world drama that leaves us wondering: is it time for Ritchson to adjust his speedometer and consider a neighborhood watch program of his own?
