Drunken Ohio Man Beaten for Taunting Disney Guest With Down Syndrome: Cops
One man’s trip to the most magical place on earth ended with him bloodied, bruised, and behind bars earlier this year after he got wasted and made fun of a woman with Down Syndrome, sparking a bar brawl with her family.
Brent George, 61, was arrested and charged with four counts of first-degree battery on the night of Jan. 25 after officers responded to reports of a fight at the Belle Vue Lounge, a 1930s-style speakeasy inside Disney World’s Boardwalk Inn.
An intoxicated George, sporting visible injuries on his face, told the officers that someone in the lounge had just pitched a glass cup at him, according to an affidavit from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. Unable to recall specific details about what led up to the seemingly unprovoked assault, George said he’d downed three shots of bourbon and a beer before ambling over to a nearby table occupied by another family.
