Are you interested in celebrity gossip? You are if you are like a seeming majority of American citizens who cannot get enough dirt on Hollywood’s actors and actresses.

As a kid growing up two mascots who made a strong impression on me were Smokey Bear and McGruff the Crime Drug. Until now I not heard any dirt on either. No, Smokey did not commit arson. This time it was McGruff the Crime Dog who finds himself on the wrong end of the law.

The incident happened in Houston, Texas, and of course, it was not an animal that committed any drug-related crimes, it was the actor who played McGruff.

The Houston native, known legally as John R. Morales, apparently has issues with both drugs and weapons. Back in early February, Morales was sentenced to more than 16 years in federal prison on drugs and weapons charges. While I do not have specific details, I do promise to share more of McGruff’s run-in with the law as they become available in the future.

Obviously, McGruff’s commitment to crime fighting does not go very deep. If you have any celebrity drug dirt that you would like to share with the onlinedrugclass.com blog, please do not hesitate to send it in. I am sure we all would appreciate it.
