A visit to Disney World took a grim turn for one Florida man who wound up in handcuffs after his insensitive jeers at a woman with Down Syndrome ignited a fiery clash with her family.
Brent George, 61, faced the consequences of his actions with an arrest and four counts of first-degree battery charges laid against him following the events that unfolded on the night of January 25. His arrest was sparked by a fight that erupted at Belle Vue Lounge, a bar inside Disney’s Boardwalk Inn.
A night of presumed fun turned into a scene of turmoil after Brent allegedly taunted a wheelchair-bound woman with Down Syndrome, whose identity was not revealed in the arrest affidavit from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. It was also reported that Brent’s wife and his two friends were drinking at the bar with him before the accused man started the fight with the family at the nearby table.
