A Miami-Dade police officer involved in the detention of Miami Dolphins Wide receiver Tyreek Hill was disciplined Sunday, a law enforcement official said.
Miami-Dade Police Director Stephanie V. Daniels released a statement on the discipline. The officer, who has not been 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 this matter,” Daniels said in a statement. “An officer involved in the incident has been placed on administrative duties while an investigation is conducted.
“I am committed to transparency and accountability to the community in any situation involving my officers.”
Hill was in handcuffs near Hard Rock Stadium Sunday morning, hours before facing the Dolphins Jacksonville Jaguars. The Dolphins said in a statement that Hill was “shortly detained” in the incident. He was cited for reckless driving, ESPN reported, citing sources.
Hill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus called the incident “heartbreaking” in an interview with ESPN.
Miami won the game 20-17.
