More than two months after Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was detained by police outside Hard Rock Stadium in the hours before Miami’s 2024 season opener, two citations have been filed against the pass catcher. from the Pro Bowl were snubbed, according to “The Andy Slater Show.” “.
Hill, 30, was issued two subpoenas following the incident on September 8: one for reckless driving and another for violation of seat belt use. The Miami-Dade police officers involved in the arrest, who briefly handcuffed Hill on the ground next to his vehicle, did not show up for a court hearing scheduled for this week, according to Andy Slater.
One of the officers who confronted Hill during the arrest was placed on administrative duty immediately after the incident, and Miami-Dade Police conducted an internal investigation. Hill told reporters afterward that he had “no idea” why he was stopped in the first place, although officers alleged speeding and reckless driving. Police body camera footage later showed that Hill failed to comply with an officer’s request to keep his window down during the traffic stop, and several officers forced the receiver to the ground.
Hill’s Dolphins teammate Calais Campbell was also briefly handcuffed after attempting to intervene in the match, allegedly for disobeying a direct police order. He was not cited.
Hill played in that Sunday’s game, catching seven passes for 130 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He’s been less involved lately, on pace for his lowest statistical marks since his final season with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022.
