Police Dog Takes Bite Out Of Crime Committed By McGruff Crime Dog Actor

I love it that an actor who portrayed McGruff the Crime Dog was convicted of multiple crimes, and the big break in the case was made by a drug sniffing dog.

The cartoon McGruff the crime
dog is one of the good guys.
A Texas actor who portrayed him,
 not so much.  

Apparently, the actor, John Morales, was speeding down a Texas freeway when cops stopped him and the dog detected some pot, according to Houston area media outlets, including CBS Houston and the Houston Chronicle. 

Police said they ended up searching his house and finding 1,000 marijuana plants, 27 weapons including a grenade launcher and 9,000 rounds of ammunition.

Gee, it seemed like this McGruff the Crime Dog, who urged us to "take a bite out of crime" went beyond biting. What, was Morales getting ready to start his own war? A grenade launcher?

And I thought the pot types were mellow and didn't need 9,000 rounds of ammunition.

Morales was recently sentenced to 16 years in jail. I don't even want to know what he's going to take a bit out of when he's in the slammer.
