Free-agent pitcher Rich Hill was arrested outside Gillette Stadium before
Saturday's Patriots-Bills game, according to The Boston Globe.
Hill's wife Caitlin tried to enter the stadium multiple times with an
oversized bag and refused to leave when ordered by the authorities,
Foxborough police told the Globe. Robert Bolger, chief administrator for the
police department, told the newspaper that Caitlin Hill was arrested on
charges of disorderly conduct and trespassing. He said when Rich Hill saw
officers putting Caitlin in a prisoner transport van he intervened with
police.
"[Hill] saw her as they were trying to get her into a van to bring to the
police station, and he started to interfere with the officers," Bolger said.
"He was told several times to back up and he would not. And he ended up
getting arrested."
Rich and Caitlin Hill were arraigned Monday in Wrentham District Court. The
Globe reports Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey’s office changed
the criminal charges against the couple into civil infractions. Morrissey
spokesperson David Traub said Rich Hill's charge of resisting arrest, a
felony, was dismissed before his arraignment by Morrissey's office in the
"interests of justice."
Caitlin Hill's two charges were turned into civil infractions and she was
ordered to pay a fine of $250 each. Rich Hill was fined $500 for the single
count of disorderly conduct he faced, Traub told the Globe.
The newspaper's call to a lawyer believed to be representing Hill was not
immediately returned.
Hill, a Boston native, is a free agent this winter after spending the past 3
1/2 seasons with the Dodgers. In 2019, he posted a 2.45 ERA with 72
strikeouts in 13 starts. Hill battled a knee injury that saw him start the
2019 season on the injured list. The 39-year-old had surgery on his left
elbow after missing three months in the middle of last season with a strained
flexor tendon in his forearm.

Rich Hill在上周日时于吉列体育场被捕,原因是他老婆Caitlin Hill
试图带一个过大的背包入场,而且安检人员要求她离开时还拒绝,
因为如此Caitlin Hill直接被押上警备车送往警局,
Rich Hill见状马上试图强行进入警备车,甚至还妨碍警察作业,
结果夫妇俩就一起被押上车了,
事后Caitlin Hill被裁定侵入罪跟妨碍治安罪,各罚锾$250,
至于Rich Hill则因为妨碍公务所以被罚$500,
不过值得庆幸的是他们只需要负担民事责任。
