MIAMI – The Miami-Dade Police Department released bodycam video of the detainment of Miami Dolphins star receiver Tyreek Hill on Monday afternoon.
Hill was detained by Miami-Dade police Sunday morning, hours before the team’s home opener at Hard Rock Stadium against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
In a statement Sunday afternoon, Miami-Dade Police Director Stephanie V. Daniels said she requested an “immediate review” of the details surrounding the incident.
“I have initiated an Internal Affairs investigation to ensure a thorough review of the matter. One of the officers involved in the incident has been placed on administrative duties while the investigation is being conducted,” according to the statement.
Daniels wrote that she is committed to “transparency and accountability to the community with any situation involving my officers.“
A senior law enforcement source told CBS News Miami that Hill, a five-time All-Pro wide receiver, was stopped for reckless driving.
“He was uncooperative and when it was clear he would not cooperate he was placed in handcuffs and detained,” according to the source.
The source said the officers did not know who Hill was when they stopped him.
A second player who saw what was happening pulled over, got out of his car and interfered with the officers, according to the source. He was also placed in handcuffs and detained, the source said. Both players were ultimately released.
Hill was cited for careless driving.
