Florida Chuck E. Cheese Arrested
Uncle Ben told Peter Parker “With great power comes great responsibility” and apparently nobody ever told Chuck E. Cheese “with moderately ok pizza comes the lowest bar of responsibility”.
If you’re Chuck E. Cheese all you have to do is not get arrested in front of kids, but that’s exactly what happened.
Chuck E. Cheese got arrested, right in the middle of a kid’s birthday party, in full fur‑bodied glory. I know, I know if you’re picturing chaos, you’re not far off.
According to TMZ, a Chuck E. Cheese mascot (real name: Jermell J. Jones, 41) was cuffed at a Tallahassee location on felony charges theft of a credit card, criminal use of personal ID, and scamming a debit card more than once racking up $105.57.
Picture this: cops roll into the pizza palace, spot “Chuck E.” hanging out at the front desk.
They approach, and the officer calmly says, “Chuck E, come with me, Chuck E.”
They yank off the giant mouse head like revealing a Scooby‑Doo villain and voila, Jermell J. Jones appears in handcuffs while birthday balloons and Skee‑Ball chaos swirl around.
He was booked, bailed out on a $1,000 bond so, Chuck E. might have needed more cheese, but definitely not cheddar on display there.
Honestly, that’s gotta be one of the worst gigs ever arrested in a rat suit, kids witnessing it all, while eating “pizza.”
As OutKick put it, “Tough day in the office for the pizza chain’s Big Cheese” and yeah, it’s next‑level bad optics, kinda like getting fired mid‑show at Disneyland as Goofy.
I’m just hoping the kids who watched this won’t need therapy from the trauma of seeing their favorite giant mouse face legal drama.
On the bright side, maybe this is the most memeable Chuck E. Cheese moment ever because nothing says “viral” like a Disney‑esque rodent getting hauled off to jail in front of kids.
So if you’re heading to Chuck E. for your next birthday bash, maybe keep an eye on who’s in the suit. Sometimes the real cheese is the scam you never saw coming.
