from the Sentinel (regarding a Florida U FB player):

Morrison, 19, was a bystander when Gainesville Police responded to a disturbance near an after-hours club where several arrests had been made in the past. Per the report, Officer William A. Arnold had a police canine named ‘Bear’ in the car and Morrison walked up to the vehicle and began to bark at the dog.

Officer Arnold stated Morrison’s actions prevented police from do their job properly so he asked Morrison to step to the front of the vehicle. When the officer tried to detain Morrison with handcuffs, he resisted, the report states.

Morrison was officially charged with interfering with police by harassing a police animal.

Sadly he will miss the first two games of the season as a result, including the UT game. There seems to be some question as to how many more players Florida can afford to have arrested before they will be unable to field a team.

Officer William A. Arnold's personal menagerie of animals includes a cat named "Bird," a snake named "Squirrel" and a parrot named "Porcupine."
