Well, That Escalated Quickly
Typically, the one making arrests, Detective Michael DeBiase, 46, found himself on the receiving end of handcuffs after pointing his gun at a fellow officer for reheating fish in the microwave, The Smoking Gun reported. On Saturday, May 30, DeBiase was at the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, police headquarters when he engaged in a confrontation with a patrolman. According to the police report, DeBiase confronted the unnamed officer “about warming up fish in the microwave, causing an odor in the office. During the confrontation, Detective DeBiase drew and pointed his department-issued handgun.” He was arrested for allegedly pointing and presenting a firearm at a person but was released without bail. He was placed on administrative leave and subsequently terminated from his position after an investigation yielded other policy violations. [The Smoking Gun, 6/3/26]
