Florida Police Release Body Cam Footage of Chuck E. Cheese Mascot Arrest

On July 23, 2025, Jermel Jarreau Jones, a part-time worker performing as the Chuck E. Cheese mascot at the Tallahassee venue, faced arrest following accusations of credit card fraud during a family gathering.
The arrest followed Michelle Allen's report of fraudulent charges totaling $105 on her credit card, which she identified via security footage showing Jones using it multiple times.
Tallahassee Police officers found Jones preparing to pose for photos when he resisted arrest and was handcuffed for safety amid children and parents at the arcade-style restaurant.
Jones is charged with three felonies: stealing a credit card, illegally using someone's personal identification details, and committing fraud with the card more than twice within a six-month period.
Chuck E. Cheese confirmed appropriate action against Jones, while police emphasized officer discretion in public arrests, and the company held a reconciliation event with local police afterward.
