A worker dressed in a Chuck E. Cheese costume at one of the kid-friendly pizza chain's franchises in Tallahassee, Florida, was taken into custody Wednesday night on larceny charges and hauled out of the restaurant in handcuffs as children looked on, according to police and images of the incident that emerged on social media.

Chuck E, come with me Chuck E,” a police officer in Tallahassee told the suspect, “stop resisting, you are being detained.”

Florida police handcuffed a Chuck E. Cheese mascot in front of children at the restaurant’s Tallahassee location Wednesday night, accusing him of credit card fraud in an arrest that has since gone viral.
