"Now the team has learned that its mascot, 'Da Bull,' has been busted for allegedly selling marijuana from his car.
He was not dressed as a bull at the time of his arrest."

... run afoul of the law.
In 2006, Benny was charged with attacking an off-duty police officer by punching a sheriff's deputy who was working at an outdoor festival.
