Texas trooper stops Dallas Cowboy back, takes photo

DALLAS — A Texas trooper faces a procedural review for having his photo taken with Dallas running back Christine Michael during a traffic stop hours before a Cowboys game, the Department of Public Safety said Tuesday.

Stephen Lister, a trooper for 6½ years, stopped a southbound black Bentley on a Dallas-area turnpike around noon CDT Sunday because the car appeared to violate window tint laws, the agency said. The driver, later identified as Michael, discussed the tint with the trooper. No citation was issued.

"The trooper had Mr. Michael step out of the vehicle for a picture, and the driver left the scene," the DPS statement said.
