Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill is under investigation for alleged battery involving his 3-year-old, the Kansas City Star reports. Hill had not been charged in relation to the incident as of Friday afternoon. The newspaper obtained a police report about an alleged battery “that lists a juvenile as the victim.” Crystal Espinal, Hill’s fiancee, is also named on the report as among the “others involved.”  While the report is dated Thursday, it’s unknown when the incident allegedly happened. A source told the newspaper that Espinal, 24, had been communicating with the Overland Park Police Department. This same source also told the Star that the alleged incident involved Hill and Espinal’s 3-year-old son, who suffered a broken arm. Area television station KCTV obtained another report from Overland Park Police dated March 5, alleging neglect or child abuse. Hill, 25, has a prior history of domestic violence, pleading guilty to battery by strangulation and domestic assault in August 2015. Hill’s conviction was dismissed in August after he fulfilled the requirements of his three years probation.
