TMZ reports that Hines Ward, Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver and Dancing With the Stars contestant, was a passenger in a car which was pulled over by police in Los Angeles early this morning around 2 am.
That’s not the only newsworthy part. Apparently, the owner of the car who was in the car had reported the car stolen mistakenly so once the police pulled them over, they also drew their weapons and handcuffed Ward and the woman.
The woman later said she had reported the car stolen after an incident involving a valet, then somehow forgot to call the police back and retract her report.
Once the misstep was verified, Hines was released. Here is what Hines has to say about the whole thing on his Facebook page:
“The incident in the news that involved me getting pulled over. I want everyone to know that this was a complete misunderstanding. The police were just doing their job. Apologies were made and it’s now in the past. Moving forward… Hines”
i love that guy!
