According to the report, Greg Carney slapped his friend with the fish after the friend threw the fish in the trash. He told police he did it because Carney kept making the fish sing when he knew it irritated him.

Carney was booked into the Indian River County jail on a charge of domestic battery. He was later released on $500 bond.
