John Morales, an actor who once played McGruff the Crime Dog, was recently sentenced to 16 years in federal prison. In 2011, Morales was pulled over while driving in Texas and a drug sniffing dog alerted on the trunk of Morales’ car. Police then searched his car and found blueprints for an indoor marijuana growing facility as well as marijuana seeds. Police subsequently searched Morales’ home where they found over 1,000 marijuana plants and a rocket launcher, as well as other weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition.
