Highway Patrol Trooper In Trouble ... For Photo with Dallas Cowboys RB
Dallas Cowboys Highway Patrol Trooper In Trouble for Photo with RB
The Texas Highway Patrol trooper who pulled over a Dallas Cowboys running back -- and then took a picture with him -- will face disciplinary actions for the incident ... TMZ Sports has learned.
The photo has been all over the Internet -- a trooper posing with backup running back Christine Michael in front of the player's pulled over Bentley ... causing many people to wonder, WTF?!
We spoke to a rep for the Texas Highway Patrol who tells us ... Michael's car was initially pulled over at noon on Sunday because it appeared the Bentley had illegal tint on the front windshield.
The trooper did not issue a citation -- but asked for a pic and then let Michael go on his way.
Sergeant Lonny Haschel tells TMZ Sports ... "The trooper’s actions have been reviewed by DPS and are not consistent with department procedure."
"Corrective action, in the form of a procedural review, will be taken. In conversations with his chain of command, the trooper realized his error in judgement and was apologetic for the incident."
As for Michael -- he went on to play the Patriots later that day ... where he had 1 carry for 6 yards.
