COLLEGE STATION, Texas - A Texas DPS trooper was sent home after an incident captured during a broadcast of the Texas A&M football game against South Carolina on Saturday, according to the agency.
The backstory:
After a touchdown, players with South Carolina continued running into the northeast tunnel before turning back around.
As they walked back out, a Texas DPS trooper was seen walking between two of them – the three of them bumping arms. The trooper then turned around and pointed at one of the players, saying something, before the players walked back to the field. The exchange was captured during a broadcast of the game and was quickly shared on social media.
What they're saying:
In a statement on social media, Texas DPS said, "The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is aware of the incident that occurred today during the Texas A&M football game. The DPS Trooper involved was sent home from the game. Our Office of Inspector General (OIG) is also aware of the incident and will be further looking into the matter. No additional information will be released at this time."
Texas A&M Police also wrote on X, "We are aware of the incident in the NE tunnel involving a DPS trooper. He has been relieved of his game day assignment."
