Sometimes a good mouse goes bad. No one is quite sure why—years of torment from the neighborhood cats or developing a cheese habit they just can't afford. Be it a mean-spirited calico or the rising cost of cheddar, sometimes mice turn to a life of crime.
The recent arrest of Chuck E Cheese in Tallahassee, Florida, was a sad example of what can happen when a once-beloved rodent finds himself on the wrong side of the law.

After the police sprung their mouse trap, they took Chuck into custody, charging him with credit card fraud and ID theft.

And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids!

No motive has been provided for Mr. Cheese's alleged crimes, but after a failed attempt at rock stardom and years of Health Department fines for being a mouse in a pizza shop, Chuck E. Cheese may have been deeply in debt and was barely squeaking by.
