US Footballer Seized After Barking At Police Dog

Recommended Posts

A US college football player has been charged after he was spotted barking at a police dog.

University of Florida linebacker Antonio Morrison was arrested early Sunday on two misdemeanours.

According to the Alachua County Sheriff's Office, Morrison walked up to the open window of a police car and barked at a dog named Bear.

The dog responded by barking back, prompting an officer to arrest Morrison for interfering with a police canine.

He also was charged with resisting arrest.

It was the second arrest in little more than a month for the sophomore from Bolingbrook, Illilnois.

Morrison also was arrested on June 16 and accused of punching a bouncer.

He received a deferred prosecution on the simple battery charge, a deal in which he was ordered to stay out of trouble for six months.

Florida head football coach Will Muschamp announced via the team's official Twitter account that Morrison "has been suspended from the team and will miss at least two games to begin the season".

That's nothing.

 

40 years ago I got arrested at Forest's ground for violently assaulting a dog's teeth with my arse.

Howling in pain......? :ph34r:

 

I was too furious to feel pain. The dog, on the other hand - I hope it got hemorrhoids.

 

I told the copper exactly what I thought about his dog-handling skills, and he threw me out after parading me across the front of the Trent End. I half-expected to be attacked by Florist fans, but nothing happened. I walked around the ground and got back in at the West Bridgford end, just in time to see Derby score again.
