According to the report, a Lions security official contacted Bloomfield Township police that night to report that Campbell's address had been posted online. An investigation conducted by police and NFL security revealed that a male high school classmate of Campbell's daughter posted the family's home address on Snapchat with the accompanying text of: «Dumb f--- trying to go for it.»
