Hines Ward, the former Super Bowl MVP who currently plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was involved in a mix-up with Los Angeles police on Thursday. As a passenger in an unidentified female’s car that was pulled over, Ward was ordered out of the vehicle at gunpoint and handcuffed until the situation was resolved.
It is not clear why they were pulled over in the first place, but the Honda Civic came up as stolen when the officers ran the plates through their system. The car had been reported stolen by the owner a month ago when a restaurant valet failed to locate it. She never informed the police that the car was later found at the restaurant, and a quick explanation of this cleared everything up.
