The Brentwood Police Dept said to the Daily Mail on Tuesday, 'The Brentwood Police Department, in coordination with the Williamson County District Attorney’s Office, has concluded its investigation into the incident involving Alan Ritchson and Ronnie Taylor on March 22, in Brentwood TN.
'After reviewing available evidence, including video footage and witness statements, authorities determined that no criminal charges will be pursued.

Taylor is then seen leaving his property, crossing a sidewalk and walking into the middle of the street where the Hollywood actor was riding his green Kawasaki bike.

At one point Taylor allegedly stepped in front of the star's motorcycle with an aggressive legs-apart stance to block him from driving down the street.
That appeared to anger Ritchson, who then laid down his motorcycle and approached Taylor.

The actor then told his neighbor that he was out of his 'f***ing mind' and asked if he had been drinking, the bodycam video also showed.
Ritchson then told Taylor that he should have 'run him over' with his motorcycle as the neighbor stepped out onto the street.
The star then picks up his motorcycle, gets on it, places his helmet back on and revs up the engine over and over, which appears to infuriate Taylor.
Taylor could then be seen pushing the actor and his motorcycle onto the street twice.
Ritchson appeared to then use his fists to hit Taylor in the face several times. After Ritchson hit him, he demands he stay down.
