Imagine you're at a kids' birthday party. The pizza's hot, the games are loud, and Chuck E. Cheese himself is walking through the crowd. But suddenly, the music stops. In a scene that looks like a fever dream, Florida police just swarmed a mascot in the middle of a shift. But they aren't here for a happy birthday song. They're here for a suspected felon who thought a giant rat suit was the ultimate getaway disguise. Meet Jermel Jones. To the kids of this Tallahassee Chuck E. Cheese, he's a hero. To the police, he's a target. This wasn't just a simple mistake. Police had Jermel dead to rights on surveillance footage from multiple shops, a meat market, a smoke shop, even a Whataburger.
