Florida Mouse? Chuck E Cheese Busted in Tallahassee – Twitchy

Sometimes a good mouse goes bad. No one is quite sure why—years of torment from the neighborhood cats or developing a cheese habit they just can’t afford. Be it a mean-spirited calico or the rising cost of cheddar, sometimes mice turn to a life of crime.

The recent arrest of Chuck E Cheese in Tallahassee, Florida, was a sad example of what can happen when a once-beloved rodent finds himself on the wrong side of the law.

After the police sprung their mouse trap, they took Chuck into custody, charging him with credit card fraud and ID theft.

No motive has been provided for Mr. Cheese’s alleged crimes, but after a failed attempt at rock stardom and years of Health Department fines for being a mouse in a pizza shop, Chuck E. Cheese may have been deeply in debt and was barely squeaking by.

Give him a break, he popped off as a child star wasn’t ready for the fame AND still kept to his roots playing local shows, never forgetting why he got into it,than the industry crossed him and he didn’t have the right people around to save him, im still a fan CC for life -RanDoM
