Bodycam Captures Moment Chuck E. Cheese Mascot Arrested at Florida Restaurant
Jermel Jones, arrested July 23, faces three felony charges for using a stolen credit card at a Tallahassee Chuck E. Cheese, with evidence including victim testimony and security footage.
- On July 23, 2025, Tallahassee police arrested Jermel J. Jones, the costumed suspect, at Chuck E. Cheese while children and parents watched in shock.
- A woman who attended a June 28 birthday party told police she last had her card then, providing video and a log that prompted the Tallahassee Police Department's probable cause affidavit.
- Court records show Jones faces more than two felony counts, including theft of a credit card and criminal use of personal identification information, after officers found the victim's credit card in his left front pocket.
- When officers approached the costumed employee, they said Jones resisted and was handcuffed inside, while restaurant patrons appeared stunned and one woman pleaded not to 'traumatize' children.
- The Tallahassee Police Department recently released bodycam footage of the July 23 arrest, which went viral and Chuck E. Cheese said it took appropriate action, worked with police and families, and considers the matter closed.
