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.

    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.

      You almost certainly did.

      That too, certainly. Probably could have been convicted of more if the DA and the Judge had been extra sadistic.

        Check again. Find me anything anywhere that says he has high explosive rounds for the launcher. I’ll wait, because you can’t, because he didn’t.
