Former Auburn star Dyer cited for suspended license at new school

By Lindsey Blakely

During his first week of attending Arkansas State U., football star Michael Dyer, who recently transferred from Auburn, received a citation Friday for driving on a suspended license and playing loud music in his car parked at Collegiate Park.

According to the police report, Officer Ron Smith received complaints of loud music and when he got to the area he found Dyer’s vehicle running with loud music coming from it.

Smith said he made contact with Dyer and told him why he was there, to which Dyer reportedly replied he was sorry for playing his music so loud.

When Smith asked for his driver’s license for citation information, the report says Dyer stated that he didn’t have his license with him but gave him his name and birth date instead.

When Smith had communication check for a valid driver’s license, he found that Dyer’s license was suspended.

Dyer reportedly told Smith that the suspended license was supposed to be taken care of.

When later contacted by The Herald, Dyer said his license was suspended because he failed to pay a ticket out of Mississippi.

“I was in Auburn when the court date was scheduled and I couldn’t make it because I was playing football,” Dyer said.

Dyer also said that he had taken care of the ticket since then.

Dyer was cited with driving on a suspended license and city ordinance loud noise with a court date of Feb. 13.

Dyer transferred to ASU after Coach Gus Malzahn was brought in from Auburn as ASU’s new head coach. Dyer’s transfer was made in large part to be closer to his hometown of North Little Rock.

Dyer has received national recognition for his football career, was a five-star recruit in 2010 and an All SEC selection in 2011.

Prior to his transfer to ASU, he did not play in the Chik-Fil-A bowl with the rest of his Auburn team for unknown reasons.
