NBC News reports: Customers watched in disbelief as Florida police arrested a Chuck E. Cheese employee — in costume portraying the pizza-hawking rodent — and accused him of using a stolen credit card, officials said Thursday.... "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. After a child's birthday party in June at Chuck E. Cheese, the child's mother had "spotted fraudulent charges at stores she doesn't frequent," according to the article — and she recognized a Chuck E. Cheese employee when reviewing a store's security footage. He was booked on charges of "suspicion of larceny, possession of another person's ID without consent and fraudulent use of a credit card two or more times," according to the article.
