When police came to question an employee at a well-known family entertainment center, the man donned a mouse costume, perhaps in an effort to evade them. So it was that this scene came to be:

“We were eating, and they did the announcement that Chuck E. was going to come out,” Ms. Gegenheimer said in an interview. “My 6-year-old wanted a picture, so we followed him. At the same time, a cop out of nowhere grabs his arm and says: ‘Chuck E.’s busy right now.’ I could hear them saying, ‘Don’t resist, don’t make a scene.’”

Did the police really have to grab him at that exact moment? Those shoes just do not look built for a getaway.
