On Sunday morning, just hours before the Miami Dolphins were set to host the Jacksonville Jaguars, videos surfaced of star wide receiver Tyreek Hill being arrested on his way to Hardrock Stadium.
🚨BREAKING: #Dolphins star WR Tyreek Hill is reportedly in handcuffs by police not far from the stadium.
It appears he is being arrested.
Wow…

It was reportedly just for a minor traffic violation, but the video shows the officers handcuffing him while on the ground, which is very odd for the situation.
Now, the Miami-Dade Police Department, which was responsible for the arrest, has announced that it will review all the information it has about it.
“We are aware of the recent detainment of Miami Dolphins player Tyreek Hill by Miami-Dade Police Department officers,” said Director Stephanie V. Daniels. “I have requested an immediate review of all details surrounding the incident, and we are also reviewing available body camera footage. We will provide updates as further information becomes available.”
In other angles of the arrest, you can clearly see some officers being very rough with Hill despite him appearing compliant the entire time.
Pretty sure this look like Tyreek Hill is getting hit or kicked by an officer?
Then minutes later Tyreek is released and at the stadium?
Not good.

Of course, Hill will eventually be released and return to the stadium in time to start the game. However, shocking news about this arrest might come out very soon.
Tyreek Hill Had A Big Game After Being Arrested
The Dolphins won their matchup against the Jaguars, and it could not have been without Hill’s effort.
He ended the game with seven receptions on 12 targets for 130 receiving yards and one touchdown. That touchdown was an 80-yard reception that brought the Dolphins right back into the game.
Somehow, Hill was arrested before a game, presumably showing up very late for any warmups and still being as electric as always.
