The police officer who detained NFL player Tyreek Hill in Florida had racked up six suspensions and multiple reprimands before his encounter with the Miami Dolphins wide receiver, records from his agency show.
According to employee records reviewed by NBC, Danny Torres, the Miami-Dade police department officer who forcibly arrested and handcuffed Hill last Sunday, has a tainted disciplinary record that includes being suspended for as many as 50 days between 2014 and 2019.
Two of the suspensions were for five days each in February 2014 and February 2016 – as well as a pair of five-day suspensions in September 2016. Torres also had a 20-day suspension in October 2018 and a 10-day suspension in June 2019.
