Ex Detroit Top Cop & ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ Character Owes Back Taxes

Gill Hill

*Remember the foul-mouthed cop in “Beverly Hills Cop?” No, not Eddie Murphy. That would be Gill Hill, who was a real life Detroit police officer.

It seems that Hill, also a former city council president, has an state tax problem to the tune of $20,000.

Records reviewed by The Detroit News indicate that the state of Michigan filed a $20,150 lien against Hill last October with the Wayne County Register of Deeds. He owes income taxes assessed last year.

The 78-year-old Hill, who in 2001 narrowly lost to Kwame Kilpatrick in the mayor’s race, is a former Detroit police commander who had a 30-year career with the department.
