Chicago - A message from the station manager

Fight Club At The Oak Lawn Chuck E. Cheese

Restaurant In Danger Of Being Kicked Out Of Village

“Oak Lawn officials say Chuck E. Cheese’s is in danger of being kicked out of the village if it can’t keep adults from fighting in the children’s restaurant. Police have been called to the 95th street location more than 50 times already this year,” WBEZ reports.
“Village President Sandy Bury said the restaurant gave up its liquor license in 2014.

“I thought oh it’s a kids place, they don’t need liquor there,” Bury said. “I was hopeful that would kinda quiet things down but it hasn’t, unfortunately.”

“Recently an off-duty police officer working security was assaulted during a family fight.”
Let’s take a look.

“Since 2011, Oak Lawn police have made more than two dozen arrests there, mostly for battery and disorderly conduct.”

Chuck E. Cheese fights are something of a YouTube genre.
