Guest Removed From Disney BoardWalk Arrested at Nearby Hotel on Felony Charge

Overview

• The incident began January 5 at the Atlantic Dance Hall on Disney’s BoardWalk, where staff removed a heavily intoxicated woman.
• She left by taxi before deputies arrived, so Disney did not issue a trespass warning.
• At the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace, hotel staff reported ongoing disruptions and requested Orange County deputies to evict and trespass her.
• While a uniformed deputy completed trespass paperwork, she tried to grab her driver’s license and struck the deputy’s hand, resulting in a felony battery-on-a-law-enforcement-officer charge.
• She resisted arrest, was taken to the Orange County Booking and Receiving Center, faces felony battery and misdemeanor resisting without violence, no deputy injuries were reported, and the Hilton trespassed her from the property.
