Overview

  • Disney security officer Frederick Ciadrdi found a metal tin in Brandi Asher’s bag during a Transportation and Ticket Center screening and discovered two plastic baggies of crystal meth and a hollow cylinder.
  • Asher, 37, told authorities she accepted the meth from a stranger at the Westgate Resort without informing her husband and mistakenly carried it into the park.
  • An Orange County Sheriff’s deputy identified the white substance as methamphetamine and the long cylinder as a snorting tube used for the drug.
  • In June, Asher pleaded not guilty to a third-degree felony possession charge and her case remains pending as the legal process continues.
  • Walt Disney World Resort maintains a strict prohibition on illegal substances, with its security screenings previously intercepting various drugs at park entrances.
