The answer to this is outlined on page 120 of the current law book second bullet point.
As the misconduct happened off the field of play while the ball is in play it is assumed that the referee stops play to deal with the incident.
Due to the fact that the player was entitled to be off the field of play by permission then the restart is a dropped ball from where the ball was when play was stopped.
