Cheese employee when reviewing a store's security footage. But when a police officer interviewed the employee — and then briefly left the restaurant — they returned to discover that their suspect "was gone but a Chuck E. Cheese mascot was now in the restaurant." Police officer Cruz "told the mascot not to make a scene before the officer and his partner 'exerted minor physical effort' to handcuff him, police said...

He was booked on charges of "suspicion of larceny, possession of another person's ID without consent and fraudulent use of a credit card two or more times," according to the article. He was released after posting a $6,500 bond. Thanks to long-time Slashdot reader destinyland for sharing the news.
