“I grabbed his right arm while giving the verbal instruction, ‘Chuck E, come with me Chuck E,' ” Tallahassee police Officer Jarrett Cruz wrote in the report.

Cruz left the restaurant to confer with Allen and another officer. When the officers went back inside, Jones was gone but a Chuck E. Cheese mascot was now in the restaurant.

Just a couple of my favorite parts of the article.

    Sounds like something from Reno 911

    Guess he didn't hear the "Cheese it!" warning in time.

    He's cuffed and wearing the head? I mean, they had to take the head off to confirm that they were arresting the right guy, right? Did they make him put it back on? Please say he kept it on for the bail hearing.

    They kept the head on for the sake of the children, you need to preserve the illusion!

    Also the amount of children that will be scarred by this experience seeing Chucky taken away like that. The one kid having his birthday party that day will never forget.

    I heard from my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend who heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who heard you need 15,000 tickets.

    ChatGPT said this about cost estimate for 15,000 tickets:

    •	Minimum likely cost: **~ $150** if every game averages 100 tickets/dollar.
    •	Typical/realistic range: $450 to $1,500, depending on skill, efficiency, and promotions.
    •	High-end estimate: Up to $3,000 if games are expensive or low reward per point.

    Times are tough when even the rats resort to identity theft.

    "The officers read the mouse his Miranda warnings before he insisted he never stole anyone’s credit, police said.

    “I don’t got no card on me, I don’t use nobody’s cards but my own,” Jones said, according to Cruz’s arrest report."

    When the cops aren't telling you why you're being arrested and you start spouting off about stolen credit cards while they're reading your rights, STFU!

    (Didn't help that he had the card and purchase receipt in his pocket).

    Traumatize those kids, give them nightmares and years of therapy. Good job, Chuck E. man.

    Lol iirc didnt chuck-e-cheese go bankrupt? If that's the case then kids these days have no clue who Chuck is. I tried singing the toys r us theme song to my 4 year old niece and she was fuckin clueless. She thought I was making it up that there used to be a walmart sized store that sold nothing but toys lol

    There was a really interesting podcast about the downfall of either this or Showbiz Pizza. I can't recall which, but it was pretty interesting. Sorry, I was listening to so many podcasts during the pan (I was single and had a lot of time to fill) that I can't tell you where to find it.

    Honestly saw the start, and honestly I imagine similar events. Somehow I'm predicting ice to deport an american citizen in a speedy gonzolas costume soon.
