Knife Threat Triggers Third March Arrest at Disney College Program Housing

Overview

• Deputies arrested a Building 12 resident at Flamingo Crossings Village after an alleged knife threat and lunge during a kitchen dispute, and the suspect was taken to the Orange County Jail.
• The roommate had sought a transfer for weeks, and management allegedly denied those requests until deputies intervened and an emergency relocation was granted.
• Following a March 20, 2026 domestic dispute on Sandpiper Landing Way, a woman was charged after allegedly hitting an ex with a plastic Disney popcorn bucket and a Mickey Mouse sweater and blocking his exit.
• Earlier on March 10, a resident allegedly struck a roommate in the face with a metal frying pan filled with food during a stove dispute and was charged with aggravated battery causing great bodily harm.
• Flamingo Crossings is Disney‑branded housing run by American Campus Communities, and residents link repeated violence to crowded units, long work hours, low take‑home pay, and transfers that move faster only after formal police reports.
