JUNE 22: In an update on the situation which contradicts Wednesday night’s, Angie DiMichele of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel notes the police investigation is still ongoing. In addition, the police report indicates the unnamed victim is in fact interested in proceeding with what would be misdemeanor charges. Depending on what additional information is uncovered during the investigation, further developments could take place on this matter. Any NFL discipline will likely only be decided upon after the police investigation has concluded.
JUNE 21, 5:17pm: This investigation wrapped Wednesday, and it does not look like a charge will be filed. Police informed the alleged victim he would need to pursue a criminal charge with the state attorney, per Slater. Hill certainly does not come off looking good, despite potentially avoiding a charge, as Slater adds the second-year Dolphins pass catcher allegedly told the employee, “I can buy you and the boat” (Twitter links).
9:39am: Miami-Dade Police have begun an investigation into Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, according to Local 10 News’ Ian Margol, who reports Hill allegedly hit a worker at Haulover Marina.
A disagreement with a man working at the marina led to Hill slapping the employee, Fox Sports 640’s Andy Slater tweets. This dustup began when Hill and others attempted to board a boat without permission, per Slater, who adds police are reviewing a video that may show the alleged strike.
Hill shared an Instagram story of a Father’s Day celebration on a boat Sunday. Police were at the marina Tuesday, and Margol indicated the department confirmed an investigation is underway. The Dolphins announced Wednesday morning they are aware of the investigation.
The employee is not believed to want to press charges, per Slater, but the NFL’s personal conduct policy does not require an indictment for a suspension to take place. The Dolphins have Hill signed to a receiver-record four-year, $120MM contract. A suspension would put Hill’s guarantees at stake.
The eighth-year wide receiver has a history of off-field violence connections. He was arrested for reportedly punching and choking his pregnant girlfriend in December 2014. That arrest led to Hill’s dismissal from the Oklahoma State football team and caused him to fall to the fifth round of the 2016 draft. In 2019, audio emerged of Hill threatening the same woman, and an investigation into the then-Chiefs wideout striking his oldest child took place. The investigation did not produce an NFL suspension.
Traded to the Dolphins for a five-asset package including a first-round pick, Hill delivered another All-Pro season in 2022, doing so despite Miami playing without Tua Tagovailoa for a chunk of the slate. The perennial Pro Bowler totaled career-high marks in receptions (119) and receiving yards (1,710) in his first year with the Dolphins.
Tyreek, it’s called Haulover Marina, not HaulOffAndHitSomeone Marina.
What is he doing slapping a marina employee? He must have run out of pregnant girlfriends to choke and punch.
Don’t worry, I’m sure the man was elderly.
Class act
Diggs might be selfish – but at least he isnt a criminal.
Trying to get inducted into AB’s HoF?
Furniture throwing busts are down so the Dade cops had to find another NFL WR to bring to justice. If the “Defund the Police” advocates ever need a poster child, they need look no further than those clowns in south Florida.
Damn You arty! ….
Beat me too it…..
I don’t know if he’s first ballot, but he’s definitely a Ring of Honor type of guy.
Doesn’t he have a whole crew to do his slapping for him??
Don’t these guys learn anything in college?
A lot of the time these athletes are even more untouchable in college and are treated like gods. They are enabled there and only learn that they can get away with almost anything.
@rocket, spot on especially when they are recruited and provided entitlements at such a young age/ high school. That and social media increasing/encouraging narcissistic behavior, it is only going to continue and probably get worse.
He’s abused his girlfriend twice and his child and was rewarded with a record setting contract. What he’s learned is there’s no consequences for his actions.
He and Hunter Biden are doing a video chat right now laughing and sending high five emojis.
Hunter Biden has literally nothing to do with Tyreek Hill. Take your idiotic political hot takes and jokes elsewhere. No one with a brain cell cares about a doofus like Hunter Biden.
I applaud you sir
Every day he seems find a new way to reiterate what a piece of trash he is….I guess at least this is better than trying to murder your unborn child I guess….so he’s improved
guys, he’s an all pro. can we please go easy on him???
This. The Dolphins won’t do a thing about it. They’re so desperate to be relevant.
Just like the general Kansas City metropolitan area before them. And countless more to come.
From a Fantasy Football standpoint let me just say “I do not condemn these acts” lol
Friday Night Fights
T. Hill vs J. Mixon
Piece of Garbage vs Bag of Crap
I dunno, Mixon comes with a gun, apparently. But Hill is the Cheetah…
I guess we could get Plaxico Burress to officiate.
Seems like there are a lot of NFL players assaulting people lately. Rodger needs to get busy before it gets out of hand.
Don’t get your hopes up. I think we are still waiting for some clarity on the Alvin Kamara pro bowl incident a year and a half ago.
Do I get fantasy points for the slap? Asking for a friend
Jurys still out…..
Most likely not due to the weak defensive rankings of the 57 yr old victim
Lmao
Any chance MIA pursues Hopkins if Hill gets a big suspension?
buying people huh
Dolphin fans are the PD?
NFL and PA must condone actions such as these. Physical violence against women, strangers, photographers along with sexual aggressions or threatening with firearms by players and the behavior continues. Similar to the political arena investigations take years to conclude with minimal consequences!
League and Player authorities need to step up and show some balls by enacting proper punishments for moronic behavior
This happens somewhere else but Miami the victim signs a complaint.
I wouldn’t be surprised if his story ends similar to that of Aaron Hernandez.
Big difference between a slap and a murder, I get it he is a piece of crap bully with a privileged mindset but we cannot put him in the same category. Hopefully we never have to watch another star athlete cross over to the dark-side like AH.
“This investigation wrapped Wednesday, and it does not look like a charge will be filed. Police informed the alleged victim he would need to pursue a criminal charge with the state attorney, per Slater.”
Seems like an investigation should end with either…
A) We have enough evidence to substantiate these allegations.
B) We do not have enough evidence to substantiate these allegations.
But, it seems like the cops came up with a third option…
C) Tell someone who cares. Maybe the state attorney cares. We don’t.
Oftentimes the victim denies cooperation for prosecution, which seems to have happened here. I get that that’s enough for the slap itself, but I wonder what the situation with the boat was. Is the victim the owner? Why was Hill trying to board and not allowed? Did the owners not want to press charges, or was Hill just trespassed from it?
Either way, you’d think that it’d be enough for a disorderly charge. Hill’s demeanor with police at the time could influence that I suppose, and I’m not familiar with Florida law, but it seems like enough of police wanted to take that route.
Ty… just mail Ronny D a check and he’ll make this all disappear for you.
If there’s video there’s a big payoff awaiting this victim – and he should go for it – as Tyreek clearly has the money to “buy you and this boat”.
Just get the guy to sign a non disclosure form and hand him a briefcase full of cash and the keys to one of your black escalades ( you know damn well he has one) and it will all go away. Til next month when the moron does it again.
There’s a ‘Caddie a month’ club starting?
What did Tyreek Hill’s 5 fingers say to the employee??
