Man Arrested After Pointing Gun at Disney Bus Driver

Bus security video contradicted the suspect’s denial, prompting felony charges that highlight risks on roads shared by Disney buses and other drivers.

Overview

  • Deputies say a white Jeep driver allegedly pulled a black semi‑automatic pistol and pointed it at a Disney bus driver during a roadway encounter, according to the arrest affidavit that investigators reviewed from the incident.
  • Investigators reviewed video from a camera aboard the Disney bus that they say shows the suspect aiming the handgun at the driver, and a witness account described the driver leaving the vehicle to return for the gun.
  • The Orange County Sheriff’s Office located the Jeep at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort and later arrested 25‑year‑old David Charlot, who told deputies he was making a DoorDash delivery and admitted a gun was in the vehicle while denying he pointed it.
  • Charlot was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm and is being held on a $10,000 bond, according to booking and arrest records cited by multiple local outlets.
  • No injuries have been reported and news coverage does not confirm whether passengers were on the bus; the case is pending prosecution and raises questions about safety on resort roadways where Disney buses and outside drivers share traffic.
