Abita Springs Man Tried To Bring Loaded Gun Into Disney’s EPCOT

Michael Langston of Abita Springs, La. tried to enter Disney's EPCOT Center in Florida with a loaded gun.

While Langston was trying to enter into Disney's EPCOT through the no-bag line, he was selected to go through a metal detector, according to WESH. He then notified the Disney security officer that he was carrying a gun.

At this point, a Disney supervisor and off-duty Orange County deputy were called to the gate. Langston was pulled out of the guest area near a marked police cruiser.

After Langston was found with a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard .380 automatic with a full six-round magazine, he was arrested on suspicion of unlawful possession of a concealed firearm, and issued a trespass warning from all Disney World property.

The Disney security officer believes that had he not chosen Langston to go through the metal detector, he would have entered the park without declaring that he was carrying a weapon.
