Authorities have cleared Reacher star Alan Richardson and a physical clash with his neighbor, ruling itself defense with no charges filed. The trouble started when Richardson was riding his bike fast through the neighborhood with his two young sons. His neighbor Ronnie Taylor confronted him, leading to a fight caught on video that showed Richardson striking back. Police captain Steven Peppin reviewed the footage and witness accounts, deciding Richardson's response was justified. They even considered a reckless endangerment charge against Taylor, but Richardson chose not to press it, so the district attorney's office closed the case. Fans rally behind Richardson online, joking that messing with the real-life preacher in front of his kids was a bad idea. His character from the Amazon Prime series draws from Lee Child's tough guy novels, previously played by Tom Cruise on the big screen. Richardson later shared an Napoleon quote on Instagram about not interrupting your enemy, hinting at his take without saying more.
