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. But when a police officer interviewed the employee — and then briefly left the restaurant — they returned to discover that their suspect "was gone but a Chuck E. Cheese mascot was now in the restaurant." Police officer Cruz "told the mascot not to make a scene before the officer and his partner 'exerted minor physical effort' to handcuff him, police said... " The officers read the mouse his Miranda warnings before he insisted he never stole anyone's credit, police said.... Officers found the victim's Visa card in [the costume-wearing employee's] left pocket and a receipt from a smoke shop where one of the fraudulent purchases was made, police said. 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. He was released after posting a $6,500 bond. Thanks to long-time Slashdot reader destinyland for sharing the news.
