Brawl At Chuck E. Cheese Leaves 20 Injured, Kid Punched In Eye

Chuck E. Cheese’s publicity in July has taken another pizza-sized hit thanks to a wild brawl where a kid was punched in the eye.

WKRG reports that on July 26, police responded to a Chuck E. Cheese location in Mobile, Alabama, where several people got into an altercation that ended up with more than 20 people injured.

According to a witness, a man attacked a woman and kids, and it turned into a wider altercation that led to another child being struck in the face.

“He just got upset about something,” revealed one witness. “It was like a teenage boy.”

“They punched me in the eye, right here,” said the girl who was attacked. “They started fighting as I was walking by, and then they punched me on accident. I don’t know if it was on purpose or on accident.”

So far, no arrests have been made in the brawl, but that could change, Mobile Police Department’s Public Information Officer Roderick Miles revealed in a press conference.

“If someone was injured, they could possibly be facing assault charges,” said Miles. “If property was destroyed, someone has to be help liable for that, so they could be facing criminal mischief charges. And if there was just an altercation, then it’s a possible misdemeanor, which can be harassment.”

In other Chuck-related news, an employee dressed as franchise's famous mascot was arrested while working at a Florida location.

On July 3, Tallahassee police responded to a call at a Chuck E. Cheese location where a caller reported a stolen credit card that had $100 in fraudulent charges. The woman traced the activity to an employee and arrested him while he was dressed as the famous mouse mascot — creating a now viral image that has to keep the company’s PR department up at night in cold sweats.

The man in the mascot, identified as Jermell Jones, was arrested for three felonies.
