Bad Dog of the Week: Texas judge takes a big bite out of McGruff the Crime Dog

The actor
who played McGruff the Crime Dog was
sentenced to 16 years for possessing a thousand marijuana plants and 27 weapons
(including a grenade launcher).

The
sentence seems excessive to me, given that marijuana is practically legal in
this country, and gun possession positively seems to be encouraged in Texas.
I'm surprised he didn't get time off for the grenade launcher, which a friend
once described to me as "the best weapon ever for clearing the treeline."
