Fla. Man Arrested After Allegedly Spitting on Disney World Guard Who Asked Him to Wear A Mask

A Florida man was arrested on a charge of battery on a uniformed security officer after allegedly spitting on a Walt Disney World guard who asked him to put on a mask to comply with the resort's COVID-19 safety protocol.

The incident around 10 p.m. Feb. 5 outdoors at Disney's Contemporary Resort near Orlando unfolded as the man, who said he was a resort guest, told the guard "to leave him alone," according to an arrest affidavit.

The uniformed guard then said that after the man was asked to put on his mask again, he allegedly "turned towards her, leaned towards her, and deliberately spit on her, getting several drops of saliva on the left side of her forehead," states the affidavit obtained by PEOPLE.

Hope they throw him under the jail. With the water table in Florida as low as it is, maybe he'll drown...

DIdn't we have laws on the books making it a crime to spread HIV to people by spitting and deliberately going condom free??


It's a deliberate, conscious action designed to instill fear of a potentially deadly infection. Seems like a serious crime to me. Assault as minimum.

We've got laws on the books. Arrest these idiots and malcontents.

Once they start facing jail time, real jail time, maybe the restwill crawl back into the primordial stew from which they came.
