Police Captain Steven Pepin, as quoted by The Guardian, said, "After reviewing available evidence, including video footage and witness statements, authorities determined that no criminal charges will be pursued.
He further added, "Mr Ritchson’s actions were found to be in self-defense. Although a potential reckless endangerment charge was considered, Mr Ritchson declined to pursue charges. With the agreement of the District Attorney’s Office, the case is now closed, and no further action will be taken."
What actually happened?
During an interview with TMZ, the actor's neighbor, Ronnie Taylor, claimed that the fight began on Sunday morning due to noise caused by Ritchson’s motorcycle. He allegedly confronted him about the noise, and the matter became heated.
The bodycam video that was later made public shows Taylor stepping into the street to obstruct Ritchson’s motorcycle and making physical contact. According to reports, Ritchson first tried to exit the scene before being pushed once more, which resulted in the physical altercation.
For now, Ritchson has not publicly addressed the matter yet, but fans believe his latest cryptic message on social media is regarding the controversy.
