Travisma 1,317 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 The way this year is going, maybe we need a new topic category... Bizarre Disney happenings... According to a report from the Orlando Sentinel, a man from Pompano Beach was arrested and charged with battery of a Disney security Cast Member. The man tackled a Disney security Cast Member in DinoLand USA at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and reportedly put the Cast Member in a headlock. Guests in the area noticed what was going on and were able to pull the man off of the Cast Member and hold him until law enforcement arrived. The man later reportedly told a nurse at an area hospital that he “took LSD and tried to kill someone”, but said he did not remember the incident and pleaded not guilty. The Disney security Cast Member reported cuts on his elbow but was not seriously injured. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keith_h 420 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 That's strange as LSD is generally not known to cause aggression taken by itself. When the rare cases of violence occur it is typically due to other drugs also having been ingested or underlying psychosis. Unless the guy's trip convinced him he was a T-Rex.

Travisma 1,317 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Police officers eventually arrived and restrained the suspect, who was later taken to a hospital in Celebration. The sheriff’s report described Arvid as being “in a state of excited delirium and unexpected strength.” Arvid reportedly showed signs of alcohol and drug use, along with heatstroke, according to an emergency room doctor. He reportedly claimed that he took LSD, but said he couldn’t remember anything about the incident in the park. He pleaded not guilty to the battery charge. In a statement obtained by the Orlando Sentinel, a spokesperson for Disney World said, “We do not tolerate violence of any kind on our property and appreciate those, including the Orange County Sheriff’s Office deputies, who quickly came to the aid of this cast member.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites
