Pregnant Woman Charged With Starting Fight At Chuck E. Cheese's (Happy birthday)

(Memphis 2/15/2010) An 18-year-old pregnant woman is out on bond tonight after police say she started a riot inside a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant Saturday night.

It happened at the 3600 block of Hickory Hill.

During an interview Monday, Juaneka Key told us she was there with her family celebrating her 2-year-old son's birthday. However, the night ended at 201 Poplar.

"Everybody's putting it on me, five of us got arrested: me, my mom, my sister, my boyfriend, and my step-dad," said Key.

She says it all started because of a long line at the photo booth.

"My sister and little brother were taking pictures, the girl said, 'Dang how long ya'll gonna be?'" said Key.

An argument started, escalated and turned into a brawl when police say Key's step-dad intervened, punched the girl and gave her a black eye.

"Other people [began] jumping in that didn't have nothing to do with the fight," said Key.

Court papers describe absolute chaos with fists flying between both the victim's family and the suspect's. Police say customers and children began panicking and running from the scene to avoid getting involved.

Managers at Chuck E. Cheese's declined comment. Though they have several surveillance cameras there, a worker tells us none were pointed at the incident.

Nearby shoppers call it ridiculous.

"Kinda a kid environment, for adults to act like that is kinda disturbing to me," said Bertha Waller.

"I feel so embarrassed," said Key.

But the teen says she has no regrets and denies any of this was her fault.

"The fact that I'm pregnant, why am I gonna fight? I'm not trying to lose my child," said Key.

Both Key and her step-dad face charges of Disorderly Conduct and Inciting a Riot. The two other suspects face charges of threatening cops as they tried to break up the fight, as well as Possession of Marijuana.

Of all the places I’d expect to see a brawl, Chuckecheese is about last on the list.

Why, there has been numerous brawls at almost every Chuck E. Cheese franchise. It is almost a weekly occurrence at some of their locations.

I’ve taken my nephews to Chuck E. Cheese. I needed to smuggle in something a bit stronger than the Bud to handle the Lord of the Flies like atmosphere.

16 aint that young, especially historically. Besides, at “Juaneka’s” school, she was probably an old maid (pregnancies as young as 12/13 are common in the ghetto).

I have a feeling most of the people involved already had black eyes before the fight started.

My thought exactly. Something about three-syllable names with a long E just before a K or Q is right off the probability graph.

Chuck E. Cheese, the king of round cardboard with tomatoe sauce, plastic peperoni and imitation rubber cheese.

I take my grands to a McDonald's that has an indoor play ground and eating area. I sit down, take my hearing aids out and let them play.

Not to mention a freakish stage show with creepy animal-like robots that herk and jerk in a lifeless manner as they mimic the movements of playing instruments in a soul-sucking band of grotesquery.

I can just imagine it: a scene reminiscent of a cartload of chimpanzees with their asses on fire. And I feel for the poor cops who had to break it up.

By the way, Hickory Hill is popularly called Hickory Hood. When the area was part of Shelby County it was a nice neighborhood. Once the city took it over it went to Hell.

"Of all the places I’d expect to see a brawl, Chuckecheese is about last on the list."

Happens all of the time at this chain. The crowd they draw in certain cities can be expected to fight at the drop of a hat. Unfortunately, the dateline being Memphis told the story before I read further.
