A claimed problem with a woman's tire became the starting point for a WBZ I-Team investigation into repeated traffic stops. In CBS Boston's follow-up, anchor Lisa Hughes reports that the Massachusetts state trooper involved has resigned, according to I-Team sources.

Hughes describes a stop in May in which the trooper told the woman something was wrong with her tire and asked her to bend over. The report says he pulled her over repeatedly in interactions described as humiliating. An internal affairs investigation followed.

The short update drew roughly 60,000 views in its first day, more than twenty times the channel's usual start for Shorts. Its comment section centers on accountability: viewers ask what resignation means for future employment in policing and whether further action will follow.

The development reported by the I-Team is specific: its sources say the trooper resigned and received a dishonorable discharge.
