According to the arrest reports, the four used their hands, feet, and teeth in the fight that injured one person.

"We do encourage everybody that if you are involved in some type of verbal altercation or even if you're a bystander and you see something like that, call 911 so we can get officers there before it turns physical," said Sgt. Sean Strepay.

Robin Skipper was at Chuck E. Cheese's on Sunday for her nephew's birthday party. She said it was absolute chaos.

"I think it's a shame you can't take kids anywhere without adults acting like that," said Skipper. "It was bad; there were kids screaming. I was worried about my kids getting trampled by the fight."

The police department is still looking for additional suspects in the fight.

Those with any information are asked to call Crimestoppers at (910) 483-8477.
