NEWINGTON, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut mother has posted bail after being charged with pulling a gun and threatening another woman at a Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant.

Police say 30-year-old Tawana Bourne brandished a .380-caliber handgun and chambered a round during an argument at the children’s game and pizza restaurant in Newington on Monday night. Police say both women were at the restaurant with their children.

Restaurant workers called police, who charged Bourne with reckless endangerment, risk of injury to children, threatening and breach of peace. She was freed after posting $50,000 bail and was ordered to appear in New Britain Superior Court on Feb. 19.

Bourne declined to comment.

Chuck E. Cheese’s released a statement saying weapons are banned in its restaurants and managers are evaluating security.

  1. Seriously -___- I stopped taking my son there when the one in Springfield was shot at anyway. This is what happens when ignorant people have kids. Guess what those kids are gonna grow up to do when they face conflicts in the future? Exactly what their loser mom did! Smh.

  2. She had to have a license to carry or she would have been held without bail. Also you only have to pay 10% of what the bail is, so $ 5,000 is a lot easier to come up with than $50,000. She used very poor judgment. Hopefully, she loses her license to carry and never is in possession of a gun again. Luckily no one was hurt!
