    “If the Teeth Don’t Fit, You Must Acquit”: Public Rallies in Support of Police K-9 Accused of Stealing Officer’s Lunch

    By

    A police K-9 officer has found himself in hot water for a few bites he (allegedly) took when no one was watching what he was up to. Those bites would be of a fellow officer’s lunch, which suspiciously went missing when he was near it.

    The human police officers involved, officers of the Wyandotte, Michigan Police Department, apparently both  found the incident hilarious and didn’t have much else going on, as they made a mugshot of the offending K-9 officer and posted about his theft of the lunch on Facebook, saying:

    “Stealing is not only a crime but it is morally wrong too. Some jobs, like that of being a police officer, require you to take an oath prior to starting. Within the officer’s sworn oath is the promise to protect person’s property.
    “That being said, it saddens me to report that a current officer of the Wyandotte Police Department is under investigation for stealing!
    “The incident happened two days ago at the station. Ofc. Barwig was eating lunch in the breakroom when he was called to assist with a person in the WPD jail. He quickly jumped into service, leaving his half eaten lunch on the table. A short while later Barwig and another officer returned to the breakroom only to find Ofc. Ice leisurely strolling out of the room licking his chops. Barwig’s entire lunch was gone….disappeared, vanished!
    “Ofc. Ice has invoked his fifth amendment right to remain silent and quite frankly is not cooperating with the investigation. He has a history of rummaging through trash cans that are within his reach. There have been several other accusations of him taking food right from coworker’s hands as they walk by.
    “WPD will consider our Facebook followers opinions on how to proceed with this investigation.”

    That wasn’t the end of it. The post with the hilarious mugshot went viral and so many people responded, saying things like “if the teeth don’t fit, you must acquit!”

    And so the Wyandotte Police Department posted an update on Officer Ice and the crime he is alleged to have committed, saying:

    UPDATE

    Dozens of attorneys have offered to defend Ofc Ice pro- 🦴- o!

    We have been threatened with massive protests if we move forward with our investigation and/or charges.

    Plus the overall public just doesn’t believe he is guilty. No video has been produced.

    That being said Ofc Ice will not face any internal discipline or criminal charges.

    Matter of fact one of his local supporters, Lunch Wyandotte, dropped him off a custom made sandwich today because they felt like he wasn’t being fed enough. Side note, they threw the officers a tray of sammies too!

    The public has spoken. #nochargesforIce
