Cheese POSTED: 8:55 am MST March 1, 2005 UPDATED: 4:33 pm MST March 1, 2005 AURORA, Colo. -- Aurora police have reviewed a weekend incident in which a man accused of stealing salad from a Chuck E. Cheese salad bar was hit with a stun gun twice by officers and said that proper procedures were followed. The incident began at 4:05 p.m. Sunday when officers were called to the restaurant at 145005 East Exposition on a report of a larceny in progress. Police talked to the Chuck E. Cheese manager who told them that a customer had refused to show proof that he had paid for food. The manager said the man was seen "loading" his plate at the salad bar. The officers confronted Danon Gale, 29, who was at the restaurant with his children, aged 3 and 7. Patrons said the popular kids pizza parlor was packed with children and families at the time. According to police, Gale was asked to step outside to discuss the incident. "According to witnesses (Gale) refused to cooperate with police and a struggle ensued," said Larry Martinez, a police spokesman. He said that Gale became argumentative and shoved one of the officers, a fact disputed by another patron. "One of the officers kept poking the gentleman in the chest," Felicia Mayo told the Rocky Mountain News. She was there with her 7-year-old son. She told the newspaper that Gale told the officer "You don't have to do that." She said Gale never put his hands on the officer who was confronting him The argument escalated until Gale was shoved into the lap of Mayo's sister, who was sitting two booths away, holding a 10-month-old baby. That's when police pulled out a Taser stun gun to subdue him. "They beat this man in front of all these kids then Tased him in my sister's lap," Mayo told the newspaper. "They had no regard for the effect this would have on the kids. This is Chuck E. Cheese, you know." Gale's two children were "screaming and hollering and crying" as Gale was tasered two times with the stun gun. Police arrested Gale as his children and other customers watched. They took him outside, leaving his children inside the restaurant. Gale was arrested for investigation of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and trespassing. His two children were picked up by a relative. The manager of the restaurant declined comment and Gale said he couldn't talk about it, after hiring an attorney. An Aurora Police spokesman said that the sergeant on the scene wrote a report on the incident and forwarded it to his commander who determined that proper police procedures were followed relating to the use of the Taser.

Cool, why don't I ever see this kind of floor show at our local CEC's?

Just because he was eating from a salad bar doesn't mean he's vegetarian.

one of the benefits of POTM growing up - no longer having any reason to venture inside a CEC. Man, forget the food, the noise gave me the hugest headache.

I"m glad both my kids are now past the age of wanting to go to CEC... the food sucked, it was too loud, and it seemed like half the kids could use a good beating

I went at Christmas with my Neice and Nephew... I hate that place. I could handle the noise, but I had to go somewhere else to eat.

even when I was a kid, I never liked the place. The games sucked, and the pizza sucked even more. I preferred pizza hut. the only reason I went there, was when my friends went there for a party or something.

I can proudly say that I've never been to CEC when I was little other than to take a few steps into one, immediately see that it sucked, and promptly step back out. My parents didn't argue; too bewildered by my reaction to the place. We went and had good pizza instead.
