The Miami-Dade Police Department released its official statement on the incident roughly 24 hours after it occurred via Andy Slater of Fox Sports 640 South Florida.

In their statement, the department states that Hill was never “under arrest” but only “briefly detained.” The statement claims that Hill was also “uncooperative”, which is why he was placed in handcuffs and subsequently placed on the ground. He was subsequently issued two traffic citations.

The department closed the statement by accusing Hill of initiating “this unfortunate incident.” You can read the full statement below:

Tyreek Hill Sparked Dolphins Comeback vs. Jaguars

Hill was able to put the incident behind him and return to his usual dominant form on the football field. His 80-yard touchdown in the third quarter kicked off the Dolphins’ comeback against their inner-state Florida rivals.

The touchdown cut the Jaguars’ lead to three heading into the fourth quarter. Jason Sanders added two field goals (including a game-winning 52-yarder on the game’s final play) to lift Miami to a 20-17 victory.

The 30-year-old Hill and his Dolphins will try to improve to 2-0 when they host the AFC East rival Buffalo Bills on Thursday night.
