NATICK, Mass. - A child’s birthday party at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant was cut short after a fight broke out between two mothers. Natick police said the mom of the 9-year-old birthday boy apparently became enraged because the other woman’s son was “hogging” an arcade game.

Sgt. Paul Thompson said Catherine Aliaga, 38, and Tarsha Williams, 33, both of Boston, would be summoned into court to answer charges of simple assault and battery stemming from the scuffle.

Thompson told the MetroWest Daily News that police received a number of 911 calls about the fight Saturday night.

He said what started as a birthday celebration turned into a “birthday melee.”

A 19-year-old Fort Walton Beach man was arrested after shoving his pregnant ex-girlfriend into a stack of hamburger buns. 

The man entered Back Yard Burgers on Mary Esther Cutoff and yelled into the kitchen that he wanted to speak with the victim, according to an Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office offense report. When she refused to come out, the man entered the kitchen and began to yell at her and others in the back. 

The man then placed his hands on the woman’s chest and shoved her, causing her to fall backwards onto a stack of crates containing hamburger buns. 

The victim stood back up and asked the man to leave several times, according to the report. He pushed her again and she tried to enter the manager’s office. The man attempted to close the door while she was in the doorway, but she managed to move before she was hit. The man fled out the rear fire exit of the restaurant.   read more »
