Two months after NFL star Tyreek Hill was pulled from his car and handcuffed outside his home stadium during a traffic stop, the citations a police officer gave him have been dropped.

Police bodycam footage shows the Miami Dolphins wide receiver lying face down on the road while an officer kneels on his back. Hill has repeatedly called for the officer to be fired.

Hill was accused of careless driving and not wearing a seatbelt after police said they pulled him over for speeding.

The two citations were dismissed after the officer who wrote the ticket failed to show up for a court appearance on Monday, due to "an oversight on his behalf", according to the Miami-Dade Police Department.
