MIAMI, Fla. - Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill was involved in a domestic dispute with his wife on Monday at his Florida condo, officials say. Only one day after the incident, reports show Hill's wife, Keeta Hill, had filed for divorce.

Officers respond to ‘assault in progress’

What we know:

According to a Sunny Isles Beach Police Department incident report, police said on Monday they responded to an "assault in progress" at Tyreek Hill's home.

Police said when they arrived at the home, Tyreek Hill, Keeta Hill and her mother, Alesia Vaccaro, were present.

The incident report states that Vaccaro called 911 after she saw Tyreek Hill throw a computer to the floor, grab the couple's baby daughter and start walking to the balcony in the high-rise condo after the couple had an argument. Vaccaro told authorities she had been living with the couple since the birth of her granddaughter last November. 

However, reports say the case is now considered closed after officers determined no crime was committed.

Court records show that less than 24 hours after the incident, Keeta Hill submitted documents to Miami-Dade County to split from the Dolphins wide receiver.

‘Very aggressive and impulsive’

What they're saying:

In the incident report, Vaccaro called Tyreek Hill "very aggressive and impulsive," saying she feared for her daughter's safety. 

Keeta Hill also spoke with the police, saying she and her husband had been arguing more often recently. She alleged he "becomes angry and throws objects," and said the two have been going to couple's therapy, but it's not working out.

Tyreek Hill told officers he had just gotten back from his offseason training when an argument broke out about the couple's therapy. He also admitted to grabbing their baby, reports show.

"I have the same rights as a father as her as a mother, and I can take my baby whenever I want," Tyreek Hill said in the report. 

"On Monday, we were informed that the police were called to Tyreek Hill’s home, and after conversations with Tyreek and members of his family, the police departed the residence without further incident, and the case was closed," a Dolphins spokesperson told FOX News. "We have since been in communication with Tyreek and the NFL, and will have no further comment on the matter."

Tyreek Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, did not immediately answer a request for comment from FOX News.

Off-the-field incidents

Dig deeper:

Tyreek Hill has been involved in off-the-field incidents before, including one in September with Miami-Dade police before the team's season opener at Hard Rock Stadium. During the incident, Tyreek Hill was detained for hours.

He was seen in videos on social media in handcuffs, with several officers surrounding him. His teammates, Jonnu Smith and Calais Campbell, both tried to intervene, but were unsuccessful in defusing the situation.

Tyreek Hill was later released, and his traffic violations were dismissed after the charging officers failed to appear in court.
