Police Dog Steals Co-worker’s Lunch But Doesn’t Face Any Charges Because He’s Too Cute

We guess criminals also come in all shapes and sizes – apparently, some have cute faces and wagging tails!

And K9 Ice of the Wyandotte Police Department (WPD) in Michigan is certainly one of the few out there with a cute face and a wagging tail who go out of their way to commit a crime, inside the workplace, nonetheless!

“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,” the Wyandotte Police Department wrote in a Facebook post.

The Wyandotte Police Department proceeds to explain that one of their officer, Officer Barwig, was eating lunch in the breakroom when he was called to assist someone in the WPD jail.

“He quickly jumped into service, leaving his half eaten lunch on the table,” WPD recounts the story.

“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!”

WPD reveals that K9 Ice invoked his fifth amendment right to remain silent, but is quite frankly not cooperating with the Police Department’s investigation.

Furthermore, WPD reveals that K9 Ice isn’t very much a good boy, especially when food is involved. They wrote, “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.”

The incident happened on January 2023 but it is once again going viral after online users found the criminal, K9 Ice’s, crime and mugshot a little too adorable. Talk about pretty privilege, huh?

The public rallied behind K9 Ice and truly believed him to be innocent. One user wrote, “There is no evidence! Last I heard, “licking chops” is not a crime!” Another user said, “Innocent! Lunch was not clearly marked with officers name or badge #.”

While another user wrote “I just want to say that he is also guilty of stealing my heart. He is one smooth operator. Look at that face, good luck getting a conviction! You guys are out to lunch.”

In an update on K9 Ice’s case, WPD revealed that “dozens of attorneys” have offered to defend the police dog Pro Bono for his crime.

“We have been threatened with massive protests if we move forward with our investigation and/or charges,” the Police Department wrote.

WPD also reveals that the public just doesn’t believe K9 Ice to be guilty and that no video of him stealing any of his co-workers food has been produced.

“That being said Ofc Ice will not face any internal discipline or criminal charges,” the Police Department concluded.

Aside from the charges being dropped, K9 also received a custom-made sandwich from one of his local supporters “because they felt like he wasn’t being fed enough.”

After the charges were dropped and the case was closed, the public still demanded updates about the “innocent” police officer.

One user wrote, “I vote for regular updates from Ofc Ice! The public needs to be aware of the shenanigans he has to deal with, like being falsely accused!”
