Police: Lions HC Dan Campbell's Address Was Leaked by Child's Classmate on Snapchat

Doric SamSep 24, 2024

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell and his family were forced to move from their Bloomfield Township home over security concerns, and police reports revealed part of the cause.

Per Robert Snell of the Detroit News, following the Lions' loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 28, someone posted Campbell's home address on Snapchat and called the coach a "dumb f--k." The post was shared by one of Campbell's daughter's male classmates.

Snell noted that the police report revealed that after the NFC Championship loss, in which Detroit blew a 17-point lead, people started showing up at Campbell's home around 11:08 p.m. and "scared daughter who left for the night." Campbell and his wife, Holly, were still at the game and advised their daughter to leave the house.

"The Campbells were nervous for the safety of their daughter and instructed her to leave the home with her boyfriend for the evening," the report stated. "I assured the Campbells that we would send a patrol unit to the home and extra-patrol it for the evening."

A township police official remained at the residence until 1:30 a.m. but saw "nothing suspicious."

The classmate, who is a year younger than Campbell's daughter, was questioned by investigators.

"(The classmate) found humor in the post ... (and) said he copied the address and posted his own story where he took a picture of the floor and used the address he had seen earlier," the report stated.

The classmate and his friends drove to Birmingham and passed by Campbell's home. The investigator wrote that the classmate "stated that they were yelling not nice things toward the house before they drove off."

Investigators also questioned the classmate's mother, Leslie.

"Leslie stated that she was aware of the situation and that Mrs. Campbell had already contacted her and left her a message about (the classmate's) post," the report said. "Leslie stated (her son) 're-posted, the post was only up for 3 minutes, he had 30 views on the post, believed it was a fake address, and quickly removed it after he thought about it.'"

Leslie contacted Holly Campbell to apologize and clarify that her son meant no harm, but she deflected blame while speaking to investigators.

"Leslie told me that the Campbell's address is publicly out there online and that her son did not contribute to anyone showing up," the report stated.

The Campbells have sincemoved to a home purchased by a limited liability company, according to public records. Snell noted that there have been no police calls to the family's new residence. Campbell declined to address the situation while speaking to reporters last week.

"No disrespect, man, I don't even want to go there with any of it," Campbell said Friday. "It's all good. Man, I've got a job to do. My primary job here is to coach this team and have them prepared every week. I've got to do my job, and that's the sole focus."
