Chuck E. Cheese Caught in Credit Card Fraud Trap ... 'Come With Me, Chuck E'

Published | Updated

UPDATE

1:22 PM PT  -- The Florida cops who arrested a Chuck E. Cheese mascot had a hilarious way of leading him out of the Charles Entertainment Cheese joint and over to their cop car ... telling him, "Chuck E, come with me Chuck E."

TMZ obtained the arrest report and the Tallahassee Police Department says the man in the Chuck E. Cheese costume also had a small amount of marijuana on him. Cops say they asked if he had a medical marijuana license and were told, "I was on the way to getting one."

Police also say he racked up $105.57 in fraudulent charges on a debit card a woman lost after attending her child's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese.

A Chuck E. Cheese mascot had to cough up some serious dough to bail out of the pokey, after getting arrested at a Charles Entertainment Cheese joint in Florida.

When the costume head was removed by cops, the identity of the rodent was revealed ... Jermell J. Jones, who was arrested for theft of a credit card.

Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

It's unclear ... but it appears Tallahassee cops knew the identity of the man inside the mouse and knew where he worked, because they promptly arrived on scene, and removed the faux mouse from the joint -- right in the middle of a children's birthday party in progress.
