Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill investigated for domestic assault, child abuse
After one season marred by a scandal, it looks like the 2019 season will be the same way for the Kansas City Chiefs. When running back Kareem Hunt was signed by the Cleveland Browns, the main argument for it was that his former teammate Tyreek Hill had rehabilitated himself after reportedly punching and choking his now fiancee, Crystal Espinal, who was then eight weeks pregnant with their son, on Dec. 11, 2014.
Hill, 25, was arrested and dismissed from the Oklahoma State football team. He then pleaded guilty to domestic assault and battery by strangulation in August 2015 before being selected in the fifth round of the NFL Draft in 2016. That argument is worthless now.
According to the Johnson County, Kansas District Attorney’s office, Hill has been involved in an investigation of a battery incident that lists a juvenile as the victim. Espinal is listed under “others involved.”
It’s unclear exactly where the incident occurred but the location is listed as the home shared by Hill and Espinal. The Chiefs are aware of a law enforcement investigation involving Hill.
