Chuck E. Cheese employee arrested in iconic mouse mask for using stolen credit card, police say
TALLAHASSEE — Wearing the furry mask of the iconic Chuck E. Cheese mascot mouse, an employee of the popular children's birthday destination was arrested for using a stolen credit card at one of the chain's Florida restaurants, police said. 'Chuck E, come with me Chuck E,' a police officer in Tallahassee told the suspect, 'stop resisting, you are being detained.' The arrest occurred Wednesday, according to the probable cause report from police, while photos from bystanders showed an officer removing the man's rodent mask — with its gray fur, exaggerated ears and perpetual smile — and placing it atop a Tallahassee Police Department vehicle. The investigation began when a woman called police to report that someone was using her child support Visa debit card, which she hadn't seen since a visit Chuck E. Cheese in late June, police records stated. Charges to the card were made at a smoke shop, grocery store and a Whataburger. The woman tracked down the suspect by going to the grocery store and viewing surveillance footage from the time her card was used, police records state. She recognized the man from the Chuck E. Cheese. When police officers arrived at the restaurant, one of them entered first to verify that the suspect was there. He was — and he wasn't wearing the mask. The suspect 'looked very nervous, he gazed at me with wide eyes and squared shoulders in a tensed demeaner,' a police officer later wrote in the probable cause report. The officer and another officer soon returned to the Chuck E. Cheese, where the suspect had since donned the rodent mask, police records stated. The officers asked another employee if the suspect was in the mouse suit. 'She shook her head up and down indicating yes,' the officer wrote. The Associated Press

Ontario man worries his property has become rental scam bait
Brett Brohman outside his Cambridge, Ont. home that he believes is part of a rental scam. July 25, 2025. (Jeff Pickel/CTV News) A homeowner in Cambridge, Ont. is concerned his property is being used in a rental scam. Brett Brohman bought a home in the Soper Park neighbourhood on July 8. He noticed, soon after, strangers kept showing up at his property. 'I saw on my camera there's people walking around my yard,' Brohman explained. 'I thought it was odd, I thought it was just a utility person.' Then, last Sunday, he spotted three men standing in his backyard and looking around. 'They're asking if I was Emmanuel and told me that some guy, Emmanuel, told them to come [to] check out the house,' Brohman recalled. Eventually, the visitors explained they saw an ad on Facebook Marketplace. The person who made the post called themselves Emmanuel and told the would-be renters he was out of the country, so they could go look at the exterior of the home without him. 'It's very nerve-racking knowing there's an ad for your house and people could, at any time, just be trespassing on your yard,' Brohman said. He reported the issue to police but was told that since no crime had been committed there was little they could do. Brohman said he notified Facebook about the issue but, as of July 25, the ad has not been taken down. While the uninvited guests are a nuisance, Brohman is more concerned about potential victims. 'I don't know if anyone's going to fall for the scam and pay them [the] first and last month's rent,' he said. Brohman also worried they would blame and come after him. He understands, however, why the post generated so much interest. It set the rent at $1,500 per month for the three-bedroom house. 'People are probably going to be thinking like, 'This is such a good deal, we don't want to wait.'' Brohman hopes people use common sense when looking for a rental and advises renters not to tour a property without someone on site. 'Make sure that you actually see the inside of the house, and whoever you're talking to has a key and can go inside and can show you around, not just tell you to walk around outside.' CTV News also reached out to Facebook's parent company Meta but have not received a response.
