Tyreek Hill’s traffic citations from viral detainment dismissed

Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill had two citations, stemming from a traffic stop that led to his brief detainment before the NFL season opener, dismissed on Monday.

Hill was cited for careless driving and a seatbelt violation, and was traveling at an estimated speed of 60 mph in his McLaren 720S, according to police during the Sept. 8 incident.

Hill’s detainment, which came before being released and allowed to play in Miami’s season-opening win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, went viral after Miami Dade Police released bodycam footage of the scene.

Hill, 30, was forcibly removed from his car, forced to the ground and handcuffed before he was released.

The officer who issued the traffic tickets, Manuel Batista, did not appear at the hearing, Hill’s Miami-based attorney Adam Goodman told USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday.
