A Florida man is facing trespassing charges after security found him camping on Walt Disney World’s Discovery Island, in Orlando.
Deputies say that they were called after Richard McGuire, was spotted on the Disney-owned property, which is currently closed to the public. Deputies searched for McGuire on foot, by helicopter, and by boat before finally making contact with him. McGuire told deputies he was not aware that the property was off-limits and that he had been camping there since Monday or Tuesday and planned to stay for a week.
Discovery Island has been closed on the property since 1999.
McGuire was arrested and charged with trespassing on the posted property and was also ordered not to return to any additional Walt Disney World properties.
