2 arrested in brawl at Chuck E. Cheese over tickets

Chuck E. Cheese is not just where a kid can be a kid. It’s also where adults can get arrested for fighting.

CBS Chicago reports that two people were arrested when at least 30 people at a Chuck E. Cheese arcade in Lincoln Park, Ill. were involved in a brawl on Sunday. The fight started among a group of people waiting in line to cash in their tickets for prizes.

Several people suffered minor injuries during the fracas — none of them children, according to the report.

According to CBS Chicago, police arrested Shambreya Barfield, 21, and Trevell Washington, also 21, on misdemeanor battery charges. No word on how andy why the fight got started or which stuffed animal they were angling to get.
