Florida Football Player Arrested For Allegedly Barking At A Police Dog, Gets Suspended

University of Florida linebacker Antonio Morrison has been suspended after his second arrest in five weeks, the team announced yesterday.

According to police (via ESPN), Morrison was walking outside a hotel at around 3:45 a.m. where police were investigating a suspicious incident. He allegedly went up to the police car and started barking at the police dog in the backseat.

He then allegedly resisted arrest when police told him to wait in the car.

This all led to perhaps the best sentence in ESPN.com history:

"Morrison's defense was the dog barked first, according to a police report."
