Traffic citations issued against Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill have been dropped after the charging officer did not attend a court hearing.
Hill was put in handcuffs after being pulled over by police outside Hard Rock Stadium for allegedly speeding while driving on the way to Miami's kickoff-week game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 8. Police bodycam footage displayed Hill lying face down on the road, with the receiver since calling for the officer in question - who can be seen kneeling on the back of the NFL star - to be fired.
'A citation dismissed due to this reason does not indicate that the citation held no merit,' said a police statement, which added that the the citations were 'non-criminal'. The incident had escalated when Hill repeatedly told the officer, 'Don't knock on my window like that', before rolling the window of his car back up.
