McGruff the Crime Dog may have always told kids to "take a bite out of crime," but apparently the actor who played him took a big bite into crime: John Morales has been sentenced to 16 year in prison for amassing large stashes of drugs and weapons.
The actor who portrayed the anti-crime bloodhound was pulled over for speeding by Galveston, Texas police in 2011, when drug-sniffing dogs (not named McGruff) noticed something off.
Police then raided Morales' home and discovered 1,000 marijuana plants, 27 weapons — including a grenade launcher — and 9,000 rounds of ammunition.
RT's Meghan Lopez looks at what a bad dog Morales really was.
