Trooper Who Pulled Over, Posted Photo With Tony Stewart Might Be Punished
An Illinois state trooper seemingly had a fan-boy moment during a recent traffic stop, and now he could face disciplinary action because of it.
Trooper Damien Cunningham tweeted a picture Friday with Tony Stewart after he pulled over the former NASCAR driver, according to The Associated Press, via USA TODAY.
Cunningham reportedly let Stewart off with a warning for improper lane usage on Interstate 88 in DeKalb, Ill., on Friday, according to police spokesman Jason Bradley. Cunningham’s photo with Stewart was posted shortly thereafter but has since been deleted.
Police now are reviewing the situation to see if Cunningham should face any punishment for using social media during a traffic stop.

Although the trooper apologized to Stewart on Twitter for the fallout of his picture, “Smoke” hasn’t posted a response on any of his social media accounts.
