Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: 'I just can’t make bonehead mistakes' like Miami marina incident
View Date:2024-12-23 20:42:19
Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill says although his June marina incident where he struck a man has been settled out of court, he has been in communication with the NFL on the matter.
Hill also admitted fault in the matter, which was settled on Monday. Both sides released a statement saying they "resolved their differences."
"I just can’t make bonehead mistakes like that," Hill said on Wednesday after the Dolphins first training camp practice.
The Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office told USA TODAY Sports its investigation into Hill’s incident is closed. Hill will not face any criminal misdemeanor battery charges. The other party signed a non-prosecution form, indicating the person did not want to press charges.
Hill said he does not expect to be suspended by the NFL for the incident.
The NFL declined comment on the matter when contacted by USA TODAY Sports, following Hill’s media availability.

"You know, in situations like that, everybody is disappointed with what we’re talking about. You know, and I think it’s important, when you’re in charge of making decisions, to reserve as much judgment as possible until all the information is collected," Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday of the incident.
"The league is still looking into it, and we’re in communication with the league as we’ve been from the beginning. And, you know, outside of that, I’m looking forward to practice and to be continued as information comes our way."
The marina incident involving Hill, according to Miami-Dade police department, occurred after two disputes.
Hill was one of two men fishing on the marina’s dock for tarpon, which he was informed was illegal. Two women in Hill’s party also boarded a docked boat before paying for services, and were asked by the boat’s captain to exit because he did not want to be liable in the event of personal injuries, according to police.
The captain said Hill told him, "I can buy you and the boat" and "I’m No. 10 of the Miami Dolphins." The alleged victim was also approached by Hill’s associate and offered $200 following the incident, according to police.
"The issue has been resolved, and I’m currently cooperating with the NFL on what happened that day," Hill said.
The Miami-Dade Police Department forwarded their evidence to the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office, which began an investigation into the alleged assault/battery incident last month.
Hill’s attorney, Julius Collins, and the marina employee’s attorney, Evan Feldman, released a statement to ESPN on Monday about the settlement.
"The parties to the incident which occurred on June 18th, 2023 at the Haulover Marina involving Tyreek Hill have resolved their differences," both sides said in the statement.
Hill, a Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019, will begin his second season with the Dolphins as the highest paid receiver in the NFL, making $30 million annually.
Hill caught 119 passes for 1,710 yards and seven touchdowns in 2022 for Miami last season.
