Airport Incident Draws Attention

Share

The Titans receiver shares his side of the incident as the investigation remains unresolved.

Ridley said the incident happened at approximately 11 p.m. His wife, two young daughters and mother were waiting upstairs while he went downstairs alone to collect the truck. He explained that the attendant requested the vehicle's registration, which he provided after obtaining the keys. His wife subsequently came downstairs, and the family left the airport.

He was also asked about the attendant's reported injury. He recalled hearing the valet shout that he had broken his finger but said he did not know exactly what happened. He did not confirm how the reported injury occurred. Earlier reports, citing sources, indicated that the attendant sustained minor injuries and wanted to pursue an assault complaint.

The Titans confirmed that the organization was communicating with the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority following the incident. Head coach Robert Saleh previously characterized the situation as a "very minor miscommunication" during his Monday media availability, adding that law enforcement was handling the matter.

Ridley said Wednesday that he had not been contacted by law enforcement, was not detained at the airport and did not know whether he would face charges. Metro Nashville Police confirmed they were not handling the investigation, as incidents at the airport are typically managed by its Department of Public Safety officers.
