Overview
- On bodycam obtained by Law & Crime, Brentwood officers interview Alan Ritchson and neighbor Ronnie Taylor about the widely shared street altercation.
- Ritchson asks police to order a toxicology test, says Taylor smelled of alcohol, and plays his chest‑camera footage for them.
- Taylor tells officers he had a drink while watching soccer, grows tearful as he describes being struck, and says he wanted to press charges.
- Investigators reviewed multiple videos, including Ritchson’s clip showing Taylor step into the street and shove him off his motorcycle, which expanded on an earlier short bystander clip.
- Police say they found Ritchson acted in self-defense and brought no charges, and Taylor later told outlets he received threats after the video spread.
