Michael’s auto was initially pulled over at noon on Sunday because it appeared the Bentley had illegal tint on the front windshield.

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 reported. No citation was issued. The driver, later identified as Michael, discussed the tint with the trooper.
DPS has reviewed the trooper’s actions, according to Haschel, and determined they’re not consistent with department procedure.
In the photo, Michael was pictured with a state trooper and it wasn’t completely clear why he was with the state trooper.
That might have been the end of it, but Michael posted the photo on Instagram with the caption: “Got stopped just to take a picture”.
DPS did not elaborate.
Michael later Sunday played in the 30-6 loss to New England.
Earlier this year, another DPS trooper got into trouble by way of Instagram when he posed with rapper, Snoop Dogg, at the South by Southwest Festival in Austin.

The Texas Department of Public Safety said in an emailed statement that’s not exactly what happened. Michael touched the ball once on a six-yard carry.
