cast member and took a ‘Star Wars’ R2-D2 droid, in the hopes that Disney's security would hire him.
David Proudfoot, 44, of Kissimmee, is facing a grand theft charge and a charge of obstruction by false information, according to an arrest affidavit. The Orange County Sheriff's Office says on May 31, deputies were called to the Swan Reserve Hotel by Disney security. When they arrived, they made contact with Proudfoot, who they say was wearing beige work pants, an orange work vest, and a Disney nametag. He reportedly identified himself as David Rodgers at first and said he worked in the receiving division of the Yacht Club Resort.
The affidavit states that Disney security stopped Proudfoot because he was seen by hotel security pushing a cart on the property and it looked suspicious. The officer offered to help Proudfoot with the cart and says that he appeared confused as to how to get to the loading dock and what the hotel's proper procedures are. That's when deputies were called to the hotel.
A deputy escorted Proudfoot to the Yacht Club Resort to retrieve his belongings and driver's license from the employee lockers, but says Proudfoot appeared to be lost and confused and failed to open the locker. The deputy then reportedly noticed that Proudfoot had a wallet on him and asked if he had his ID in the wallet. Proudfoot showed him the ID which revealed his real name.
