Earlier this week, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was under investigation by Miami-Dade Police for an alleged assault and battery charge.
According to Local 10 News, Hill allegedly struck a man working at Haulover Marina in Miami. Per Fox Sports 640, Hill slapped the employee in the back of the head. The incident began when Hill and his group boarded a boat without permission. Boat employees told police that Hill said, “I can buy you and the boat,” and “I’m No. 10 with the Miami Dolphins,” a police source told Fox Sports 640.
Local 10 News reported that on Father’s Day, the Dolphins star wideout allegedly struck a man working at Haulover Marina in Miami. Per Andy Slater of Fox Sports 640, Hill slapped the employee on the back of the head. The incident began when Hill and his group boarded a boat without permission. Boat employees told police that Hill said, “I can buy you and the boat,” and, “I’m No. 10 with the Miami Dolphins,” a police source told Andy Slater.
On Wednesday, Miami-Dade Police officials confirmed to NBC 6 South Florida that the victim has decided to press charges:
“We are aware of the situation and have been in contact with Tyreek, his representatives and the NFL. We will reserve further comment at this time,” a Dolphins spokesperson said in a statement Wednesday.
The Kansas City Chiefs traded Hill to Miami last year, and the Dolphins gave the three-time All-Pro a $120 million, four-year contract extension that made Hill the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history. The 29-year-old caught 119 passes for 1,710 yards and seven touchdowns in 2022.
