Aside from his reported involvement in an altercation at a Dallas bar, Ezekiel Elliott is also fighting a speeding ticket.

The Dallas Cowboys running back is appealing a misdemeanor conviction for driving 30 mph over the posted speed limit in Frisco, Texas, according to Valerie Wigglesworth of The Dallas Morning News.

Elliott was clocked at 100 mph in his 2016 Dodge Charger on April 4. He posted an appeal bond on Friday. The matter has been forwarded to county court Monday. Elliott was also issued a warning for a missing license plate on the front of the vehicle.

The rusher was also cited for speeding in Ohio in June 2014 and was involved in a minor car accident in December 2015.

This latest news comes as a nightclub incident - in which a witness claimed Elliott was not involved - became news on Monday and he awaits word from the NFL on a possible suspension stemming from a February 2016 domestic violence accusation by his ex-girlfriend.
