Chuck E. Cheese employee is accused of stabbing a woman with a box cutter after an argument about a salad plate, police said.
Shardonnae Pruitt, 19, of the 9600 block of South Merrion Avenue, was charged with simple assault and battery after the incident late last month, according to Police News Affairs Officer Laura Kubiak.
The patron, 25, told police Pruitt stabbed her around 3:15 p.m. on Sept. 30 at the restaurant at 5030 S. Kedzie Ave., Kubiak said.
The patron was with a 40-year-old man who became angry that Pruitt had taken away his salad plate and threw his utensils on the floor and demanded to see the manager, police said.
Pruitt returned with the manager, and the man asked to make a formal complaint against Pruitt, police said. When the manager stepped away, Pruitt threatened the man and pulled out the box cutter and stabbed the woman, police said, citing reports.
Security guards at the restaurant detained Pruitt until police arrived.
The woman was taken to Holy Cross Hospital, where she was treated and released.
A manager of the Chuck E. Cheese declined comment today.
Pruitt is due back in court on Nov. 14., according to court records.
Nonwithstanding the incident referenced above but fucking security guards?? at a kids pizza place?? What the fuck. Who in their right fucking mind would take their child or have a party at / allow your child to attend a party at a place where you have to have security guards?? its a kids restuarant for fucks sake.
