Chuck E. Cheese Mascot Body Cam Arrest Footage Released

The Chuck E. Cheese mascot couldn’t desert his place of employment fast enough when cops came rushing in the door … taking him into custody in newly released body cam footage.

The video taken back in July captures the cops taking down Jermell J. Jones … wearing the full mouse get-up like we told you about last month.

In the clip, police rush into the restaurant and arcade to grab Jones … telling a woman “Chuck E. is a little busy” before grabbing his arms and pulling them behind his back.

At first, the officers struggle to cuff the rat-faced mascot … and, they tell him to stop resisting — before adding that he shouldn’t cause a scene.

Ultimately, Jones is cuffed and officers walk him outside where they pat him down … and check to see what he’s wearing underneath the costume.

Jermell argues with cops and says he’s just working — doing his job. He also yells out that he needs to take the suit off.

Ultimately, the clips ends with Jones taking off the headpiece, the shirt and the overalls … after insisting to cops that he’s going to cooperate.

Remember … Jones was arrested down in Florida for theft or a credit card after he allegedly used a woman’s debit card for more than $100 worth of purchases. He paid $1,000 bond and was released.
