Witnesses say officers walked into the Tallahassee location and pulled Jones out while he was still fully dressed as the beloved character, shocking parents and kids. Videos circulating online show police removing the mascot’s head before escorting him to a patrol car. Jones was later released on a $1,000 bond.
