ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - An Orange County Sheriffs deputy is under investigation, accused of toying with his taser along with two Walt Disney World security guards at Epcot.
The sheriff's office is calling the incident an internal review after an 18 year veteran let someone else use his taser to tase someone else. Deputy Eric Jeros and two Disney security guards were apparently at Epcot Center in an office. The three of them were talking and one of them mentioned the taser. The deputy handed the taser over to one of the security guards to tase the other guard. Now the sheriffs office wants to know why.
The non lethal weapon that we provide to our deputies is something that is strictly for their use. We provide the training that is necessary and that is not something that is to be traded or provided to anyone else during a non tactical situation, Captain Angelo Nieves from the Orange County Sheriffs Offfice.
The sheriffs office say Jeros is a good deputy with 18 years of service and he is still working while the department investigates.
Disney issued the following statement regarding the incident:
"We are conducting an internal review of the incident. The castmember has been put on leave pending the outcome of the investigation."
