More information from Tyreek Hill's detainment last Sunday was revealed this week.
Hill was detained by Miami-Dade police before the Dolphins' matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Body cam footage revealed the Miami wide receiver dragged out of his car and put in handcuffs while laying face first on the ground. Teammate Calais Campbell tried to help, but he also was put in handcuffs. The pair later were released and played in their team's Week 1 win.
Head coach Mike McDaniel was visibly emotional after the alleged racial profiling incident, and the Dolphins released a lengthy team statement hoping to see the officers disciplined for their actions.
The Miami-Dade Police Department on Tuesday released the citation given to Hill. The 30-year-old was cited for speeding at a "visual estimation of 60 mph," per ESPN's Jeff Darlington. That charge carried a $179 penalty. Hill also was cited for a seatbelt violation, which carried a $129 penalty.

Officer Danny Torres, who has 27-year tenure within the department, remains in administrative duties, as the Internal Affairs investigation is still ongoing.
The Dolphins prepare to face the Buffalo Bills on "Thursday Night Football" while speculation arose about Hill possibly taking legal action over last Sunday's incident.
