DEVELOPING: Trooper In Dyer Investigation Fired

Royce Denney, the Arkansas State Trooper who pulled over Arkansas State running back Michael Dyer, was fired from his job after an internal investigation.

In his termination letter, it was disclosed that Denney violated policy when he purposely turned off his in-car camera recording system, confiscating the gun found in Dyer's car without legal justification, and by not properly disposing of "potential drug evidence" found during the stop. It was apparent that marijuana and a pistol were found during the stop, according to KATV in Little Rock.

Colonel JR Howard, director of the Arkansas State Police, said in his dismissal letter: "Your conduct and repeated demonstrations of lack of judgment clearly shows that you are unable to conform to the standards of professionalism that is expected of a commissioned officer of the Arkansas State Police. Accordingly, your employment is hereby terminated."
