Actor Alan Ritchson spoke about a confrontation with his neighbor, Ronnie Taylor, that occurred in March outside his home in Brentwood, Tennessee. During an appearance on Dax Shepard's podcast, Ritchson described the incident, which was captured on video, as frightening. He stated that while testing a motorcycle with his sons, Taylor stepped in front of him, causing Ritchson to fall.
