Guests involved were both listed as white on the report.
It was just another summer thunderstorm when guests at the Magic Kingdom sought shelter under an overhang at the Walt Disney World theme park (an incredible place to shelter from the rain). However, tempers soon flared up!
According to an Orange County Sheriff’s report (via WDWNT), Susan tried to move her motorised wheelchair into the space, but lost control and hit a woman. The incident occurred on the 2nd August, according to the report (via WDWNT).
Susan is a 68-year-old woman from Indiana.
Susan apologised to the woman she hit, and that appeared to be the end of things. However, Donald said he was a victim as well.
Donald is a 45-year-old man from Clermont, Florida.
According to the report (via WDWNT), Donald confronted Susan and wanted her insurance information. She refused.
“Susan told [a deputy that] Donald was being rude to her and her family, and she didn’t want to talk to him. Susan advised she did not realise she hit Donald and believed she had only accidentally run into [the first woman] with her wheelchair,” the report (via WDWNT) said.
Donald was upset Susan apologised to the other woman but not to him.
“Donald told [the deputy] he thought Susan hit him intentionally. [The deputy] asked Donald why he thought Susan hit him intentionally, and he told [the deputy] it was because he believes Susan is racist,” the report (via WDWNT) said.
The deputy asked Donald why he believed Susan is racist. Donald said Susan had smirked at him.
According to the report (via WDWNT), Donald’s race is listed as white (his place of birth is Hawaii). Susan is listed as white.
The deputy refused to share Susan’s insurance information, telling Donald that it was going to be a matter for civil court.
The deputy interviewed the first woman whom Susan had run into. The woman said she didn’t see whether or not Susan hit Donald but believed the whole situation had been an accident.
“Based upon the verbal statements given to me, and the close quarter nature of the crowd of people they were surrounded by, I do not find probable cause to charge Susan with battery,” the deputy wrote in the report (via WDWNT).
“It should be noted Donald was unhappy with the results of my investigation and only seem concerned with getting insurance information,” the report said (via WDWNT).
