5 Women, 1 Minor Arrested In Chuck E. Cheese Fight

[RaVen Blackehart]

DAUPHIN COUNTY, Pa. -- It's supposed to be a place to bring your family.

But at a Dauphin County Chuck E. Cheese, police have been coming to break up fights.

Five women and a minor were arrested over the weekend after they were involved in a fight.

It's not the first time police were called to the restaurant; to the point where the corporation which owns the restaurant, and 540 others across the country, may be adding security guards to help keep the peace.

A customer caught the latest fight while videotaping inside the Chuck E. Cheese off Union Deposit Road. The video was even posted on YouTube.

The video shows the altercation between the five women and juvenile. One of the women arrested is pregnant.

It's not clear what sparked the brawl, but it was quickly broken up by others in the restaurant.

This incident marks the 12th time in the last year Susquehanna Township police have been called to the Chuck E. Cheese for disorderly conduct.

Some customers said they are concerned.

"It surprises me to an extent that it's happening at a place where younger kids come," said Lisa Tosheff.

Lisa Tosheff and Denise Perloski have been bringing their children to Chuck E. Cheese for birthdays and other events for the last 12 years. They said they had never seen any problems during that time.

"When you think of Chuck E. Cheese you think your kids would be safe and you would be safe," said Perloski.

But 12 fights this past year and 18 the year before, that doesn't shock them.

"Of course, the way things are, you know, there's all kinds of problems in school. More problems now all around," said Perloski.

A corporate spokesman for Chuck E. Cheese said they are concerned about the bad behavior, but add that it involved only a fraction of the 85 million customers served last year.

One family at the restaurant said they won't be discouraged from bring their kids because of a few unruly adults.

"It's not a bad place," said Susan Owens. "You just have to be careful, but you have to be careful anyplace."

There have been fights reported at the Chuck E. Cheese in Manheim Township, but an officer told News 8 there are no more fights than any other restaurant in that area.

The corporation which operates the restaurants told News 8 they do have security guards in some of their locations and will soon decide if they want to add security at this restaurant to help discourage bad behavior.

What is SO important at a Chuck E Cheese that even pregnant women fight about it?

Did you guys know that at certain Chuck E. Cheese's they sell alcohol due to the fact that it appealed to the customers at those certain locations.

I know my kid can be a hog sometimes when it comes to a game, but to get into an argument over the fact that someone called your kid a gamehog is nonsense. Kids are going to hog games when they like them.

HAHAHA I'm sorry, but the fact that Chuck E Cheeses nationwide need security guards is fucking hilarious. Oh, and pathetic.

I would guess that MOST of the fights start because of stuff like this. People feel they are somehow 'defending' their kids so they go batshit.

And is anyone else disturbed by the fact that residents & the police are all like "Well, it's like that everywhere" and "There are no more fights there than any other restaurant in that area" WTF???!!

BTW, the videos are no longer available....Dang

I know when I've been subjected to attending parties at Chuck E. Cheese I was in the mood to get in a fight too. I fucking hate that place.

But I do agree most parents seem to feel their child is entitled to do whatever they want whenever they want and will knock your ass over to get to a game first. Hence part of why I will never go there again.

The sounds of slot machines and the sounds of Chuck E. Cheese are the only ones that make me feel homicidal. I restrain myself, but I gotta move outta there quick!

I took my kid there on his 2nd birthday. It was his turn to play, someone push him away. It was a greedy, fat big kid. I gave him deadly eyes. Fat kid ran to his family. They're all fat, shoving pizzas up their mouths...gulping large coke. I felt sick. We don't go there anymore.

I've only been to one once, and that was like back in 7th grade. The playground was cool, but it is way too crowded to be any fun.

We did not have Chuck E Cheese. We had Showbiz Pizza, which was the same thing but with a bear in overalls instead of a giant rat.

In high school my best friend worked there for a while and caught mono from wearing the bear costume and almost didn't graduate. Coulda been worse, though....coulda been crabs.
