The Trooper must know that a person can pass on the right per TITLE XXI MOTOR VEHICLES

Actually, I was going some where between 60 and 70 matching him (in the right lane), he was about 1/2 a mile ahead of me following her. I have no idea what he knows, and I was just surmising what he pulled her over for, but it seemed very apparent to me.

That being said, there was absolutely no reason for her to be in the left lane, she was in a spot where the right lane was clear for at least a mile ahead of her and a half mile behind her. There is no reason to be in the passing lane in this instance and someone who does this is a poor driver in my humble opinion. As to whether it is a ticketable offense, I'll leave that to the law experts that frequent this forum.
