Traffic Citations Against Miami Dolphins Star Tyreek Hill Dismissed After Police Fail to Show Up for Court Hearing
Traffic citations issued to Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill have been dismissed after the Miami-Dade police officers who issued them failed to attend a court hearing. Hill was initially stopped outside Hard Rock Stadium for allegedly speeding on September 8, just before the Dolphins’ season opener. The stop escalated, and an officer pulled Hill from the car, forced him to the ground, and handcuffed him.
According to police body camera video, Hill appeared to speed past two motorcycle officers who were monitoring traffic outside the stadium, and one of the officers tapped on his window. Hill, 30, handed over his driver’s license, but became agitated when the officer told him to “knock off the window.” He then put his window back up.
The verbal exchange escalated, and the officers pulled him from the car, forcing him to the ground. They cursed at Hill, but he did not resist their physical force or try to strike back. He did tell one officer, “Don’t tell me what to do.” After about 30 minutes, Hill was issued citations and allowed to enter the stadium.
One officer was placed on administrative duty, and an internal affairs investigation was launched. However, no results have been released. Hill took to the social platform X to express his side of the story.
