An argument between two women at Chuck E Cheese in Newington, a restaurant that caters to children, ended in an arrest on Monday night after a woman allegedly pulled a loaded semi-automatic handgun out in front of another woman who was there with a child, according to Newington police.

Police said Tawana Bourne, 30, of Middletown, was at the restaurant with her child around 8 p.m. and got into an argument with another woman, who was also with a child, police said.

During the argument, Bourne allegedly brandished a .380 semi-automatic handgun and chambered a round.

Chuck E Cheese staff quickly contacted the Newington Police Department.

Police said the women had been separated and Bourne was in possession of a .380 caliber handgun.
