Overview
- Brentwood police, which announced the findings Wednesday, said no criminal charges will be filed and the investigation is closed.
- The decision followed a review of bystander videos and Ritchson’s bodycam clip released Tuesday that showed Ronnie Taylor moving into the street and the actor falling from his motorcycle.
- Taylor told TMZ he confronted Ritchson over speeding and noise, admitted pushing him twice as the bike rolled toward him, and alleged he was then punched and kicked, leaving facial bruises.
- Police said the response met self-defense standards, and Ritchson declined to pursue a potential reckless endangerment charge against Taylor, leaving no arrests on either side.
- The confrontation unfolded Sunday in a Brentwood neighborhood, the viral video surfaced Monday via TMZ, and two children reported to be Ritchson’s sons watched from small motorcycles nearby.
