Eddy Pineiro helped save the Gators several times during his two seasons as Florida’s kicker, and he’s now earning recognition for a more important rescue away from the field.
Pineiro and his father, Eddy Pineiro Sr., received a Police Service Award from the Gainesville Police Department for their efforts to defend a woman from an assault last year.
Pineiro posted a picture of the certificate he received on Twitter:
Everyone please read this! This is a perfect example of why you should never put your hands on a woman! You will go to jail for a long time!
