NEWINGTON, Conn. (WTNH) -- A Middletown woman was arrested after allegedly pulling out a handgun during a verbal dispute with another woman at Chuck E. Cheese in Newington.

The incident occurred around 8 p.m., at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant located at 3075 Berlin Turnpike.

Upon arrival, officers found 30-year-old Tawana Bourne, of Middletown, to be in possession of a .380 caliber handgun.
