Tallahassee police reportedly arrested a man dressed in a Chuck E. Cheese mascot costume for credit card fraud.

Photos and video circulated widely on social media purporting to show Tallahassee Police Department officers escorting a costumed man out of the Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in front of children and families, the Tallahassee Democrat reported. A video obtained by Barstool Sports appears to show an officer take the mouse’s head off the suspect.

Prosecutors charged the man with theft of a credit card, criminal use of personal identification information and fraudulent use of a credit card more than twice within a six-month period, the Leon County Clerk of Courts website revealed, the Tallahassee Democrat reported. Officers booked the suspect into the Leon County Jail, though authorities later released him on a $1,000 bond, according to TMZ.

The Tallahassee Democrat has asked for court documents related to the case and is awaiting additional details.
