Third-Party Valet Arrested at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge in $1,248 Check-Forgery Case

Authorities say bank images plus a state records match tied the valet to four checks as the case moves to the Economic Crimes Unit.

Overview

  • Mason Henrichsen, 21, was taken into custody at Kidani Village on Dec. 3 as he arrived for his shift, according to an arrest affidavit.
  • The victim, an Ohio guest, reported her checkbook missing after bank alerts flagged four checks for $250, $670, $98, and $230 written to Henrichsen.
  • Detectives used the DAVID database to confirm his identity, matched his driver’s license signature to the checks, and reviewed images supplied by the bank.
  • Investigators say the checks were deposited at a Chase Bank near Disney Springs, and Henrichsen told deputies he found a check on the parking lot ground.
  • He faces two felony counts for forgery and grand theft by fraud, worked for an outside valet vendor rather than Disney, and the investigation remains active.
