During a segment on Dan Patrick’s show Thursday morning, NBC Sports reporter Peter King was dialed in to discuss the latest training camp information. However, as soon as he began to dive into Ezekiel Elliot’s holdout with the Cowboys, King was pulled over for talking on the cell while driving.

Despite Patrick offering to help King get out of trouble, the sportswriter frantically hung up to deal with the authorities. As Patrick waited for a call back, he placed a bet with his producers on whether King would receive a warning or a ticket.

“Of course I got a ticket,” King said once he dialed back into the show. “I said to the cop, ‘I’m on with Dan Patrick,’ and he said, ‘Here’s your ticket.’ That was fun.”

It is believed that King’s run-in with the law came in New York, where the NFL scribe now lives.
