Disney tourist arrested for attacking police responding to domestic dispute
A South African woman staying at Walt Disney World's Grand Floridian Resort is accused of kicking and spitting at deputies this week after an argument with her husband.
Virginia Vivier, 36, was screaming profanities and swinging at a Disney security officer outside her hotel room Tuesday when Orange County deputy sheriffs got there about 11 p.m., an arrest report states.
Security called the Sheriff's Office for help after several guests complained about hearing a woman screaming.
Vivier's husband told deputies she had been drinking all day and became violent, shouting and throwing things at him, the report states. He unsuccessfully tried to stop her before a security officer arrived, and he ended up with scratches and bruises, deputies said.
The female security officer told deputies Vivier refused to calm down, shoved her and then punched her in the face, knocking off her hat. Deputies got to the hotel room just in time to witness Vivier hit the security officer, the report states.
They then ran after Vivier and attempted to handcuff her on the ground. Vivier "began kicking and screaming" putting up a "strenuous fight," a deputy wrote in the arrest report.
She then kicked one of the deputies in the chest, tried to bite another and started spitting at the pair, deputies said.
Fire rescue and emergency medical crews were eventually called to help secure Vivier. They took her to a hospital, where officials found she had a blood alcohol level of .256, along with marijuana in her system, according to the report.
Vivier is facing charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, battery on a security officer, battery domestic violence, resisting an officer with violence and attempted aggravating battery on a law enforcement officer.
