Traffic infractions against Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill — which escalated to a tense police confrontation caught on video two months ago — dismissed when officers didn’t come to court, records showed.
Hill had been accused of careless driving and failing to wear a seat belt, but Miami-Dade County Traffic Infraction Hearing Officer Patricia Henrys dismissed those allegations, citing “lack of prosecution — officer/witness.”
Hill appeared to virtually spike the football on Tuesday, writing on X, “Where all the internet cops now,” in response to a post by WMEN radio personality Andy Slater, who first reported the dismissal.
Hill was on his way to the when Miami-Dade police pulled him over just outside Hard Rock Stadium, handcuffed him and put him face down on the pavement.
Bystanders recorded video of Hill lying face down on the ground as officers placed his hands behind his back and appeared to cuff him.
At least two Dolphins teammates, tight end Jonnu Smith and defensive lineman Calais Campbell, were driving by, saw Hill pulled over and stopped to help.
Campbell, a , was also handcuffed, even though he was standing off to the side, Hill said.
All of those Dolphins made it to their Sept. 8 season opener, won by Miami, 20-17, over the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars. Hill had a big game that day, catching seven passes for.
“If I wasn’t Tyreek Hill, Lord knows, I probably would have been, like, worst-case scenario, I would have been shot or would have been locked up” and “put behind bars, you know, for a simple speeding ticket,” a day after the incident.
“And that’s crazy that officers would take it, you know, to that level.”
