Overview
- Halen Holton filed the lawsuit Wednesday, naming Walt Disney World Resort and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and alleging they ignored her pleas for medical help.
- Deputies responded to the Magic Kingdom bus loop on April 11, 2025, after a reported disturbance, and records show Holton was arrested on trespass after warning, disorderly intoxication, and resisting without violence.
- Holton says she felt confused, weak, and overheated, asked staff to call 911, and was not allowed to leave to seek care after receiving a trespass warning, which is a notice to leave private property.
- She alleges deputies pulled her hair, put her in a hot patrol car, and that jail staff denied her water, medical attention, and proper clothing, after which she sought care at Daytona Advent Hospital and ongoing therapy.
- The complaint seeks $50,000 per count plus possible punitive damages, and neither Disney nor the Sheriff’s Office has publicly responded, setting up a dispute over duty of care shared by park security and county deputies.
