Character Highlights
Mickey is seen in 2 episodes of C.O.P.S. The Case of The Big Frame-up and The Case of The Stashed Cash. In The Case of The Big Frame-up, Mickey is able to thwart a gold coin heist pulled by Berserko and Nightshade. Because of this brave deed, he decides to sign up to become a member of C.O.P.S. Unfortunetely, Bulletproof had to turn him down because of his age being beyond the age required to become a member of C.O.P.S.

Disappointed, Mickey left the precient and encounterd a woman who hired him to work for her being a security guard at as warehouse where a wardrobe of fur coats is stored at. Turns out that the woman is actually Nightshade, who set Mickey up to be falsely accused of pulling a fur heist with the help of a criminal henchman named J.J. who signaled to Berserko and Buttons McBoomBoom to take down Mickey and framed him for the fur heist by stuffing the furs into Mickey's car. Despite protest from Mickey, LongArm had no choice but to arrest his own father and put him in prison. There, Mickey learned the truth about what has happened when his cellmate mentions him about a guy named J.J. Parker, who used to work for Nightshade pulling fur jobs for her at one time.

Then, Mickey tells Brian, his grandson, to tell Longarm to run a make on J.J., who was the one of the Crooks responsible for setting Mickey up for the fur heist. With proof of his grandfather's innocence, Brian runs to tell the C.O.P.S. about Nightshade setting up his grampa for the fur heist. While he's doing that, he notices the car Berserko and Nightshade used for the coin heist and begins spying on them and finds that they are planning to rob the Mountback Blimp of charity money earned from a benefit lunch. Mickey reported to Bulletproof of their plans and Bulletproof orders LongArm to head to the Blimp to put a stop to the heist in progress. Longarm headed to the blimp and was able to stop Berserko and made him confess to framing Mickey for the fur robbery. Nightshade escapes, but Berserko is caught and brought in by LongArm, who tells Bulletproof to get his dad out of jail.

Later, Bulletproof proudly made Mickey into an honorary member of C.O.P.S. and the official advisor to the team. Mickey sure has some advice for the team, including getting rid of all of computers in the precient since Mickey kinda disproves all of the new high-tech gadgets the COPS used to catch crooks and longs for the "good old days" when the ECPD didn't used any high-tech computers or "new fangled" gadgets, but was able to catch crimianls the old fashioned way without all of the modern convenience being used today.
