Officer arrested after allegedly pointing firearm at fellow cop over microwaved fish: Warrant.

A now-former South Carolina police officer faces a felony charge after allegedly pointing his department-issued firearm at a fellow officer during a confrontation about microwaved fish, according to authorities and an arrest warrant.

Michael Debiase, 46, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with pointing and presenting a firearm at a person, according to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, which investigated the incident.

The confrontation allegedly occurred on Saturday in a briefing room at the Myrtle Beach Police Department, authorities said.

Debiase allegedly confronted a fellow officer who was "warming up fish in the microwave, causing an odor in the office," the arrest warrant stated.

During the confrontation, the detective allegedly "drew and pointed his department-issued handgun" at the other officer, the arrest warrant stated.

The Myrtle Beach Police Department said in a statement Tuesday that it has "recently separated employment" with Debiase. »
