A Miami traffic stop involving Tyreek Hill, the star receiver for the Miami Dolphins, quickly escalated into a heated confrontation that ended with the player being forcibly removed from his vehicle and handcuffed. The incident occurred on Sunday before the team’s season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The encounter began when a police officer on a bicycle pulled over Hill’s McLaren 720S for reckless driving. When the officer approached the car and knocked on the window, Hill refused to lower the window and became agitated. The officer insisted that Hill comply, but the player continued to resist. Eventually, the officer warned Hill that he would be forcibly removed from the vehicle if he did not cooperate.
When Hill refused to comply, the officers proceeded to drag him out of the car and place him on the ground. Hill was handcuffed and arrested, and his phone was confiscated. Throughout the incident, Hill was on the phone with his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, who was unable to intervene as the police officers confiscated the phone.
