A Miami-Dade Police officer involved in the detention of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill Sunday was disciplined, a law enforcement official said.
Miami-Dade Police Director Stephanie V. Daniels released a statement on the discipline. The officer, who wasn’t named, was pulled off the street.
“Following the incident involving Tyreek Hill, I have initiated an Internal Affairs investigation to ensure a thorough review of the matter,” Daniels said in a statement. “One of the officers involved in the incident has been placed on administrative duties while the investigation is conducted.
“I’m committed to transparency and accountability to the community with any situation involving my officers.”
Hill was in handcuffs near Hard Rock Stadium Sunday morning, hours before the Dolphins faced the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Dolphins said in a statement that Hill was “briefly detained” in the incident. He was cited for reckless driving, ESPN reported, citing sources.
Drew Rosenhaus, Hill’s agent, called the incident “heartbreaking” in an interview with ESPN.
Miami won the game, 20-17.
