Adults and children seemed to be understandably confused and worried when Florida police officers handcuffed and arrested a Chuck E. Cheese employee with a full trace, according to the bodycam video published on Friday.
Surrealist images captured the moments when the police had to interrupt the pizza lover lover that entertained young clients on July 23 in Tallahassee.
“Chuck e.’sa a little busy, police officer Jarrett Cruz seems to say to an adult, while he and his partner move to the suspect disguised.” Chuck E., Come with me, Chuck E. “
Police fought for a moment, near the “cars” and “Sponbob Squarepants” games, to handcuff the man with the mouse suit, later identified as Jermel Jones, 41. Jones was accused of stealing and using a customer’s credit card.
“Chuck E. stops resisting, stops resisting,” the suspect was heard to instruct. “You are being stopped, stop resisting. Let it go, let it go. Don’t cause a scene here, Lord.”
As the officers led “Chuck E.” Outside the restaurant, you could see a woman trying to protect her son from witnessing the potentially traumatic moment.
“We have to do our work lady,” seems to tell a worried father. “It’s not my call lady.”
You can hear at least one young voice saying: “What are you doing?” As Chuck E. is taken.
An adult in question faced the fellow of the officer Cruz, who explained that the mouse was a accused criminal.
“Would Mickey Mouse put in the wives?” The father said angry.
The officer replied: “Have good night” and moved away.
The officers put Jones in a police car and helped him take off the costume: the mouse head, the hands of fury, the large shoes and the pants with braces.
Jones denied having acted badly.
