Orlando Man Arrested After $922 Disney Pin Theft at Disney Springs

The case reflects a string of recent theft investigations at Walt Disney World.

Overview

  • The 27-year-old, arrested on March 2 at Disney Springs, was accused of taking 50 trading pins worth about $922 after tax.
  • A DisneyStyle employee reported him pocketing pins, and security followed him from a Starbucks restroom to the Star Wars Galactic Outpost.
  • Security and Orange County deputies stopped him and recovered the pins from his backpack and clothing, and the man admitted taking them.
  • Deputies booked him on suspicion of third-degree grand theft under Florida law, which can bring up to five years in prison, five years of probation, and $5,000 in fines if convicted.
  • As of late March, the State Attorney’s Office said no formal charges had been filed, and outlets withheld his name while the case is reviewed.
