A Florida man was charged with assault after allegedly spitting on a Disney World security guard who asked him to fulfill the mandate of the park’s mask.
Kelly McKin, 51, of Palm Beach, was approached by a security guard at Disney World Contemporary Resort on February 5. FOX 35 Orlando reported. The guard allegedly asked McKin to put on his mask, at which point McKin declined and spat on the employees’ faces. He left later, said a police statement.
Police said McKin returned to the theme park the next day, prompting an Orange County sheriff to respond. Upon realizing that McKin was the same suspect who allegedly spat on the security guard the day before, he was removed from the park and placed in custody, FOX 35 reported.

It is not the first time that a Disney employee has been assaulted for enforcing his mask policy. Another Disney World security guard was assaulted in August for reminding an Orlando man to wear a face cover, police said.
