An interaction between a Green Bay police officer and Dillon occurred during an exhibition soccer match at Lambeau Field in July. Green Bay Police chief Chris Davis issued an apology to the running back following the conclusion of the investigation:
A video showed an officer attempting to stop Dillon from jumping into the stands to do a Lambeau Leap to amuse fans during a rain delay between Manchester City and FC Bayern Munich soccer friendly.
He was initially stopped by the officer, who snatched him from behind by the collar of his shirt prior to being permitted to do the Lambeau Leap.
Packers released statement about the incident
In a statement, the organization shared their appreciation for the Green Bay Police Department and how they handled the process:
During the incident, Dillon tweeted that the encounter was a misunderstanding:
Dillon was drafted by Green Bay in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Boston College. Last season, he led the team in both rushing yards (803 yards) and rushing touchdowns (five). Let’s see how he plays as the team looks to make the postseason.
Now that the controversy with the police is behind him, he can focus solely on his on-field performances and help his team reach the playoffs.
