Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was detained by police before the team’s Week 1 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The incident took place near the team’s home stadium during a traffic stop. Hill was seen in a video being handcuffed by officers. The Dolphins confirmed the incident on social media, stating that Hill and his teammates had safely arrived at the stadium for the game. Police said they were reviewing the incident, and Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava praised the department for taking immediate action.
This is not the first time Hill has been involved in legal issues. In 2014, he was arrested for assaulting his pregnant girlfriend, and in 2019, he was investigated for an alleged incident involving his young son. However, no charges were filed in either case. In 2023, Hill settled with an employee who accused him of assault after a verbal disagreement, but again, no charges were filed.
Hill, 30, is entering his third season with the Dolphins. Despite his legal troubles, he has continued to play in the NFL. The league has not disciplined him for any of the incidents mentioned. The situation with the recent police detainment is still under review, and more details are expected to be released.
