John Morales, the actor who played the crime-fighting cartoon character McGruff the Crime Dog, was sentenced to 16 years in prison stemming from a 2011 arrest in which police seized 1,000 marijuana plants, 27 weapons – including a grenade launcher – and 9,000 rounds of ammunition from his home.
They should’ve known; it’s not like he was called McGruff the good dog.
But what “crime” did he commit? Sounds like he was just a prepper that wanted to get high.

What is the crime officer? Enjoying a meal? A succulent weapons grade explosive meal?
Also, note that the arrest predates Texas marijuana decriminalization
GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY GRENADE LAUNCHER
And you, sir, are you waiting to receive my limp plants?
Hol’ up, it says a grenade launcher, which is actually legal to own, it doesn’t say he had illegal HE grenades. Important distinction.
The problem is “weed” and even if legal “weed+guns” wasn’t until 2023 (and even still kinda a grey area but basically illegal).
it doesn’t say he had illegal HE grenades
It says he was convicted, sentenced, and imprisoned.
Yes, but unless I missed it, not for having “grenades.”
It also just so happens that at the time of his conviction (well kinda sorta still, actually) it was illegal to have weed and guns at the same time. That and anywhere weed is legal even now, 1,000 plants is well above the commonly single digit limit on plants unless he has a commercial growers permit of some sort (but then, he could probably still have the guns/launcher actually).
police seized:
1,000 marijuana plants,
The illegal part
27 weapons – including a grenade launcher –
All legal if no weed
and 9,000 rounds of ammunition from his home
Also legal, and no grenades mentioned.
Free my man he didn’t do shit.
