NBA star Dwight Howard recently had his driver's license suspended after he failed to pay a ticket for running a red light in Orange County, Florida.

WFTV in Orlando learned that Howard paid the ticket and fine costs Wednesday afternoon and had his license reinstated.
 
Video from a red-light camera reportedly shows Howard's car driving through a red light.

Howard, who plays for the Houston Rockets, received a ticket for the offense earlier this year but didn't pay the $285 fine until Wednesday, so his license was suspended.
 
"He probably should've gotten his license suspended if he hasn't paid it for four months," said driver Mark Pollock.
 
But this is far from Howard's first run-in with red-light running, court records show.
 
In all, Howard has received 10 red-light tickets since 2011, as well as several citations for toll violations and speeding.
