In a rib-tickling incident, a police dog identified as ‘Officer Ice’ was recently accused of stealing a sandwich of a fellow police officer, with mugshot of the alleged accused dog going viral on social media. The incident was reported from Wyandotte city in Michigan where Officer Ice has been serving for 11 years, and has been responsible for the seizure of various banned substance. However, recently, Officer Ice found himself on the other side, after he was accused of stealing a fellow officer’s sandwich.
The Wyandotte Police Department, Michigan, took to Facebook and sought public opinion as to what they should do with the allegations against the K-9 unit. “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,” the department in its Facebook post reported.
“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,” the Facebook post read.
Meanwhile, the netizens came in support of the veteran K-9 unit, claiming that the goodest boy was falsely implicated. “Sounds like entrapment to me. The case should be thrown out,” a comment read.

Police Department Gives Detailed Version of “Theft”
Giving a detailed version of the events, the Wyandotte Police Department, Michigan, in its Facebook post wrote – “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.”

Officer Ice “Not Cooperating With Investigation”
In a part-cheeky, part-witty Facebook post, the department claimed that Officer Ice has “invoked his fifth amendment right to remain silent, and “quite frankly is not cooperating with the investigation”. The department also added that Officer Ice has been known for rummaging through trashcans within his reach.
It should be noted that Officer Ice has been one of the most veteran dog units in the department. The decorated German Shepard has assisted agencies in hundreds of drug busts over the course of years. A detective of the department gave an insight into Officer Ice’s career and said, “He found over a kilo of heroin in a wall in a house in Detroit. Found stolen car suspects that fled. He has found multiple people hiding.”
