“Completely drunk”: Woman banned for life from Disney World after attacking taxi driver
Walt Disney World has taken action against an intoxicated woman for slapping a cab driver as well as kicking a police officer.
Ellen McMillion, 53, from Florida slapped unsuspecting cab driver Adel Mahmoud after she asked him for a cigarette.
When he said he didn’t smoke, she slapped him several times.
“A minute or two after I told her I don’t have a cigarette, she hit and slapped me,” Mr Mahmoud told Yahoo Lifestyle. “She didn’t have control, she was completely drunk, out of her mind.”
Disney security guard Barbara Somoano observed the assault and said to police that McMillion caused a disturbance at the Hollywood Studios entrance.
An Orange County police officer stationed at Disney World told Ms McMillion to sit down, but she became “verbally belligerent...She had bloodshot eyes, an unsteady gait, was slurring her words, and had a strong odour of alcohol emanating from her facial area. She also verbally stated she was drunk multiple times.”
After McMillion was asked for her driver’s licence, she threw her small black purse on the ground and said “HERE”.
She was also yelling profanities as families passed by and was led into a squad car, where she kicked a female officer in the leg twice.
She was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and disorderly intoxication.
The police report obtained by Yahoo Lifestyle said that Disney Security asked for McMillion to be banned from all Walt Disney World Properties.
A Disney spokesperson tells Yahoo Lifestyle, “We have no tolerance for violence.”
