Man downs two beers in under 30 seconds before scrap with police at Disney World

A drunk man in Florida guzzled two beers in less than 30 seconds at the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival.

It didn't take long for the remainder of his visit to the Disney World resort to fall apart.

At first, Chase Holderby seemed friendly. But then he gave handshakes and high-fives to everyone in line at one of the Epcot stands on September 10, a newly released Orange Country Sherriff report said.

The 30-year-old Merritt Island man peaked the authorities' attention as he seemed drunk, reports Wow News Today.

The sheriff's report recalled how he was "stumbling, being excessively loud, swearing, and appearing unsteady on his feet".

Then, deputies watched Holderby chug two beers in less than 30 seconds at the American Adventure Pavilion.

By that time, visitors were complaining about his behaviour.

A Disney food and beverage manager pictured Holderby, and told all the food and beverage locations not to serve him any more booze.

The others in Holderby’s group knew that he was getting himself into trouble. They tried to encourage him to drink water and go to the park exit, but Holderby didn't progress very far.

He was in an argument with his group at the Japan Pavilion, the sheriff's report said, and deputies advised him to stop causing such a commotion.

When he arrived at the Morocco Pavilion, Holderby was confronted by a Disney security manager who ordered him to leave the theme park.

Holderby placed his finger on the Disney employee’s chest and started causing a scene, swearing and yelling that he hadn’t done anything wrong, the sheriff’s report said.

He continued to yell and ask what he did wrong all the way up the ramp to the Skyliner.

The sheriff's report continued: "Once in the line queue, he continued to act belligerent and cause the crowd of people in line to become alarmed.

“While attempting to get him onto the physical gondola car, he wouldn’t initially get in and was dangerously close to falling into the area beneath where the attraction operates.

"As the disturbance continued, the staff stopped the entire transportation system for Holderby’s safety, inconveniencing and delaying all other riders.”

All Holderby had to do was ride the gondola one stop to Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, where his family was staying. But he never made it.

“Holderby initially entered the individual gondola of the Skyliner, but then began to push his way out to hurl insults at members of security,” the sheriff’s report said.

Holderby was arrested for trespassing and disorderly conduct and taken to jail.

Orange Circuit Court records showed he took a plea deal earlier this month.

He pleaded no contest to the charges and paid a $273 fine.

He was credited for already serving one day in jail and didn’t get additional jail time.
