DALLAS - April 1, 2009 - An attorney for Officer Robert Powell said Powell resigned
Wednesday over the March 18 incident in which he drew his gun and
threatened Houston Texans running back Ryan Moats.
Powell stopped Moats' SUV in the Plano parking lot after the
vehicle rolled through a red light. Moats' wife, Tamishia, and
other relatives were also in the car.
Moats' mother-in-law died while Powell was ticketing and
lecturing him. Powell later issued an apology, which Moats
accepted.
The resignation was first reported by Dallas-Fort Worth
television station KTVT.
