Disney guest crashed through golf-cart window, jumped into Bay Lake, report says

Deputies arrested a 27-year-old Ohio man early Monday after an apparent drunken night at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort.

Andrew Hall, of Mentor, Ohio, was arrested after being rescued by a Walt Disney World marine unit, which found him struggling to stay afloat in the middle of Bay Lake, according to an Orange County Sheriff's Office arrest report.

Before that, deputies said Hall was drinking at the resort's restaurant and attempted to leave on a bicycle, according to the report.

A manager at the restaurant said Hall had trouble staying balanced and fell numerous times, so the manager drove a golf cart to catch up and help.

When the manager got to Hall, he ran toward the cart, jumping and crashing through the plastic windshield, the report states.

Hall then got in the driver's seat and headed for Bay Lake, where he crashed into a pier, the manager told deputies. There, he jumped into the water and swam away until he started struggling, according to the report.

A Walt Disney World marine unit came to help, however, deputies said Hall yelled racial slurs and refused to get in the boat, the report states.

He then "dove below the surface beyond sight," the report states. When he came back up, Hall was going in and out of consciousness, gasping for breath, according to the report.

Deputies said someone from the marine unit jumped in, swam to him and pulled him into the boat.

Emergency medical crews met them on shore and took Hall to a local hospital, where he was treated and released.

He was then booked into the Orange County Jail on charges of disturbing the peace at a public lodging establishment, grand theft and criminal mischief, according to the report.

Deputies said the damage to the golf cart and pier cost about $5,000.

Hall is being held on $2,500 bail.
 

I'm sorry but I couldn't help but laugh at this whole thing. I hope the Cast Member who jumped in to save him didn't catch cold. The Guest was lucky the Disney Cast just didn't call the Coast Guard, and sit around wait for them to rescue him (kidding, just kidding).
 
I assume that this guy was a stealthy drinker who sat quietly upright on his stool in the FW bar without making a scene until he went outside. For the sake of the serving staff ...
 
Next his family will be trying to sue Disney over brain eating amoebas. What an idiot, you cannot fix stupid.
 
Glad it had a happy ending, well except for the golf cart/railing and the whole concern over brain eating amoebas.
 
Sounds like this dude can't let go of the college life. Acting like that at any age is unacceptable, but to still be pulling **** like that at 27 is just sad.
 
You haven't been around very many millennials and Gen Y's, have you?

Ha, I'm actually 28 myself. And I was also (still am somewhat) one of the crazy kids that would do anything. Though never under the aide of alcohol. I can't say I know anyone that would do anything this stupid.

But...did you go to Ohio state?
 
Watch what you say about us Buckeyes ;)

This story is making the rounds here on the local Cleveland news. I live about 5 minutes away from Mentor (a very nice city, by the way). Let's cut the kid a little slack. Maybe he just came from Studios having watched Lights, Motors, Action and thought he would audition for a part. Personally, I'd rather watch the swimming golf cart than the actual show anyways. Wait a second... Maybe this could be the "fix" that is so desperately needed at HS. I think guests would flock to the park if they could watch a recreation of this stunt...
