Antonio Morrison arrested for barking at police dog. Yes, he is a Flori-duh Gator...

Bill Frakes/SI

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida linebacker Antonio Morrison has been arrested again.

Morrison was arrested early Sunday on two misdemeanors charges: barking at a police dog and resisting arrest.

The sophomore from Bolingbrook, Ill., also was arrested June 16 for allegedly punching a bouncer. He received deferred prosecution on the simple battery charged, a deal in which he was ordered to stay out of trouble for six months.

He was back in court Sunday, when a judge released him on his own recognizance.

According to the Alachua County Sheriff's Office, Morrison walked up to an open window on a police car and barked at a K-9 dog named Bear. The dog responded by barking back, prompting an officer to arrest Morrison for interfering with a police canine. According to the arresting officer, Morrison's actions diverted the canine's "attention from my investigation and towards him."

they are trained and 100% reliable. so clearly this arrest was warranted because he interfered with the dog.

The cops couldn't give this guy a warning or talking to? They had to arrest him?
