Kids and parents watched as a Florida man dressed in a Chuck E. Cheese mascot costume was arrested for alleged credit card theft.

“We’re going to apprehend the mouse,” an officer remarked in the bodycam video released by the Tallahassee Police Department as they entered the family entertainment venue.

“Chuck E.’s a little bit busy, ma’am,” an officer can be heard saying to a mom asking for a picture with the mouse from another body camera’s footage. “Chuck E., come with me. Chuck E! Chuck E! Stop resisting! You’re being detained, stop resisting! Do not cause a scene here, sir.”

Jermel Jones, 41, was put in handcuffs just after 6:30 p.m. on July 23, according to the timestamp on the cameras.

Jones denied any wrongdoing, but the affidavit states that after he was placed under arrest, he advised an officer he found a credit card that day, and it was “on his person,” but he stated he “never used it.” Police say the card found in Jones’ left front pocket had the victim’s name on it. 

“Jones was also in possession of a small amount of marijuana,” the affidavit said. He allegedly told the officer he was “on the way” to getting a medical marijuana license.
