Green Bay police apologize for treatment of Packers' AJ Dillon in July incident

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Green Bay Police Chief Chris Davis apologized Friday to Packers running back AJ Dillon upon completion of the department's review of an interaction between an officer and Dillon during an exhibition soccer match at Lambeau Field this summer.

It occurred during the July 23 friendly between Manchester City and FC Bayern Munich. A video showed an officer trying to prevent Dillon from jumping into the stands to do a Lambeau Leap to entertain fans during a rain delay. Dillion was initially stopped by the officer, who grabbed him from behind by the collar of his shirt, before being allowed to do it.
