Tyreek Hill put others in ‘great risk of danger’ and was ‘uncooperative’ with cops: police union

The South Florida Police Benevolent Association alleges that Dolphins star receiver Tyreek Hill was causing a “great risk of danger” with his driving and was “uncooperative” when cops pulled him over and detained him outside of Hard Rock Stadium hours before the team’s Week 1 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Video showed Hill, 30, in handcuffs and being placed belly first on the ground. He was cited for careless driving and a seatbelt violation, according to ESPN, before being released at the scene.

“Before the Dolphins game yesterday, an incident occurred where Tyreek Hill was placed in handcuffs before being released,” South Florida PBA president Steadman Stahl wrote in a release. “First, to be clear, at no time was he ever under arrest. He was briefly detained for officer safety, after driving in a manner in which he was putting himself and others in great risk of danger.

“Upon being stopped, Mr. Hill was not immediately cooperative with the officers on the scene who, pursuant to policy and for their immediate safety, placed Mr. Hill in handcuffs. Mr. Hill, still uncooperative, refused to sit on the ground and was therefore redirected to the ground.
