Major League Baseball player caught mailing marijuana to his Dog

Chris Perez was fined and placed on probation after mailing a package of marijuana to his dog. A six ounce package was sent to Brody Baum, the couple’s dog, from Los Angeles in early June to the closer’s home near Cleveland, Ohio. The package was discovered by a postal worker and was opened in the post office. The package was then resealed and delivered to the home. An undercover officer asked Melanie Perez about the package and she confirmed the content was marijuana. The Cleveland Indians closer and his wife were found guilty for drug abuse and fourth-degree misdemeanor. Perez was fined $250 and placed on one year probation. Perez, 28, must go through Major League Baseball’s drug program and talk to a local high school for 15-20 minutes about the danger of drugs. I feel that this punishment isn’t severe enough for the circumstance and the popularity of the athlete.
