The truck was parked outside a White Castle restaurant in Bradley. The vehicle was running.
Ryan failed to complete several sobriety tests and refused chemical testing, police said.
He was taken to the local jail, where he posted bail and was released later Thursday.
Ryan could not be reached for comment Friday. He did not immediately return a telephone message left at his office.
