ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A Florida man was arrested last month after a Walt Disney World resort security guard told deputies he spat at her after she asked him to wear a face mask.
According to an arrest report, the security guard said she approached Kelly McKin, 51, of Palm Beach, on a golf cart as he tried to enter the convention center area of Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
The security guard told deputies that when she asked the man to wear his face mask, McKin told her that he would put it on when he got inside. When she informed him of Disney’s policy of wearing masks at all times on property, she told deputies he told her to leave him alone and then spit at her.
According to the arrest report, she said some of his spit hit her forehead.
When deputies contacted the man the following day after the security guard had identified him through a security camera photo, they said he denied having spit at her.
McKin was arrested and charged with battery on a security officer.
