(Feb. 18) -- Police in Memphis, Tenn., arrested four people after a fight broke out during a kids' birthday party at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant.
It began with a dispute Saturday between two families at a photo booth, police said. A girl waiting in line complained about how long the family in the booth was taking, police and witnesses said.
"My sister and little brother were taking pictures," Juaneka Key told WREG-TV. "The girl said, 'Dang, how long y'all gonna be?'" Key, 18, had come to the restaurant to celebrate her 2-year-old daughter's birthday.
Key's stepfather, Terrence Dickerson, responded by punching the girl in the face, sparking a melee that sent other parents and their children scrambling to get out of the way of the escalating fight, police said.
"Other people [began] jumping in that didn't have nothing to do with the fight," Key told WREG.
Witnesses said Key kicked the girl who had originally complained after she hid under a table.
Police led four people from the restaurant in handcuffs. Key and Dickerson have been charged with with disorderly conduct and inciting a riot. Steven Henderson, Key's boyfriend, and Juanita Hopkins, Key's mother, have been charged with disorderly conduct and possession of marijuana.
