Rich Hill and his wife arrested outside Gillette Stadium for disorderly conduct

The New England Patriots' game against the Buffalo Bills proved to be great fodder for headlines. Not only did Bill Belichick's side pick up their game against the Buffalo Bills, they also registered a 24-17 win at the Gillette Stadium. The Patriots also wrapped up their 11th consecutive AFC East title on the night. The AFC East title was far from the only event of consequence at the Gillette Stadium on Saturday night. Former LA Dodgers pitcher Rich Hill and his wife Caitlin A. Hill were arrested outside the Gillette Stadium before the Bills vs Patriots matchup.

MLB free-agent pitcher Rich Hill and his wife arrested before Bills vs Patriots game

According to Robert Bolger, chief administrator for Foxborough police, Rich Hill's wife Caitlin repeatedly attempted to enter the Gillette Stadium with an oversized bag. When being asked to leave the grounds after being denied entry into the stadium several times, Caitlin Hill refused to leave the ground when ordered to do so by the Foxborough police. She was then arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and trespassing. Robert Bolger also said that when Rich Hill saw the Foxborough police putting his wife into a transport vehicle, Rich Hill intervened. That intervention led to the arrest of the former LA Dodgers pitcher.
