Florida football player allegedly barked at a police dog

Florida Gators? linebacker Antonio Morrison was arrested Sunday for resisting arrest after allegedly barking at a police dog. According to police, the sophomore from Illinois walked up to a police car?s open window and barked at a K-9 dog named Bear. When the dog barked back, police arrested the player for interfering with a police canine. The player then resisted police efforts to put handcuffs on him. According to police, the player told officers he made a ?woof woof? sound at Bear because the dog barked at him. He was previously arrested on June 16 for allegedly punching a bouncer, and was told to stay out of trouble for six months.
