Tyreek Hill's Two Police Citations for Reckless Driving Dropped

The two police citations that NFL player Tyreek Hill received in September have been dismissed.

CBS Sports reports that the Miami-Dade police officers involved with the detainment didn’t show up for a scheduled court hearing this week.

Back in September, footage of Hill’s arrest over the weekend hit the internet. In a viral four-minute clip that circulated social media, Hill was asked by an officer why he didn’t have his seatbelt on. After words were exchanged, Hill rolled his window up — prompting the officer to ask for him to keep it down for ordering him to get out of the vehicle.

A second officer opened the car door and pulled Hill out, immediately dragging him to the ground. “When we tell you to do something, you do it, you understand?” said the second officer to Hill to which the player responded with, “I was getting out.”

In a statement shared on Instagram by Miami-Dade PD’s Director Stephanie V. Daniels, the department announced that it was investigating what happened. “The department is committed to conducting a thorough, objective investigation into this matter, and we will continue to update the public on the outcome of that process," she wrote.

In a post-game interview later that day, Hill opened up about what happened. "They said I was speeding, reckless driving or whatever," Hill relayed to reporters during a post-game interview noting that he didn’t mention that he was a famous football player during the incident. "I wasn’t raised like that to name-drop. If you said I did something, write me a ticket and do whatever you have to do. But don’t be disrespectful."

Days later, Hill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus, who was on the phone with Hill during the incident, expressed his belief that the officers involved with the detaining should have lost their jobs. “None of the police officers involved there showed any remorse or were apologetic,” he said on an episode of the Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz. He then explained that he wanted the officers “to be disciplined” and “to make sure that they never do that again to anybody else who doesn't actually deserve that type of treatment."
