Green Bay Police Apologize for Shoving AJ Dillon at Soccer Match

Green Bay police chief Chris Davis apologized to Packers running back AJ Dillon Friday following a review into an interaction between Dillon and an officer at an exhibition soccer match at Lambeau Field this summer.

During the July 23 friendly between Manchester City and FC Bayern Munich, video showed Dillon preparing to do a Lambeau Leap into the crowd while the game was in a rain delay. Before he made the jump, an officer grabbed him by the back of his collar and prevented him from doing so.

Dillon appeared to offer an explanation, which prompted the officer to back off and allow the Packers ballcarrier to leap into the stands.
