Florida Man Gets Drunk at Disney Springs, Warns Police That They ‘Better Hope He Is Never Their Nurse,’ Then His Family Abandons Him

A Florida man who said he was a registered nurse threatened Orange County sheriff’s deputies after he was arrested following a drunken scene at Disney Springs.

Edward Stephenson, 30, of Brandon, pleaded not guilty in March to trespass, according to Orange Circuit Court records.

“It took three deputies to place his arms behind his back and secure him,” Orange County Sheriff’s arrest report said. “Once secured, he continued to tell deputies he was going to sue deputies. Mr. Stephenson also advised he was a Registered Nurse and told deputies we better hope he is never our nurse in an Emergency Room.”

The incident occurred on January 15. The sheriff’s office released the public document two months later.

Stephenson attracted law enforcement’s attention because he was “being belligerent and cursing at/in front of children,” the arrest report said.

He was reported making inappropriate comments to juveniles at Once Upon a Toy and visited several stores at Disney Springs.

Disney Security asked Stephenson to leave, but then he turned his anger on the security employees, swearing at them and making “derogatory comments.”

Disney wanted Stephenson trespassed.

Stephenson’s brother tried to help calm him down, but Stephenson clenched his fists and appeared ready to fight him, so the brother left him alone.

Then Stephenson was escorted to the Lime Garage, where a family member was supposed to pick him, but “it was later determined that Mr. Stephenson had upset his family because of his actions, and they refused to come pick him up,” the arrest report said.

Now that meant Stephenson had to take an Uber to get off Disney property.

As law enforcement led him to the pick-up area, Stephenson recorded them on his phone.

He will likely plead that somebody drugged him.

American serial killers Charles Cullen (40+ victims), William George Davis (7 victims), Jeffrey Feltner (7 victims), and Orville Lynn Majors (130 victims) were all male nurses.

IOW: He was teaching without a license

I wonder what the percentage is of known world-wide serial killers?

Mr. Stephenson also advised he was a Registered Nurse and told deputies we better hope he is never our nurse in an Emergency Room.

He is, indeed, a registered nurse in Florida. No disciplinary action or public complaints on file through today. His status may be revised in the near future.

Well to be fair... Harold Frederick Shipman was a British physician, and probably the most prolific serial killer in history other than certain political leaders. His victims number at least 250.

He should lose the ability to be involved with medicine.

How is it that this Disney Springs place has made the news so much with so many alcohol related social problems?

So, before clicking this link I googled "Disney Springs" and found it is their name for the restaurant area of Disney World.   Then I googled WDW News Today and found it is their mouthpiece Walt Disney World News Today.

So this is a non-story, because the whole complex is a perverted Florida man.

Did he tell them, “Nice try but I work for Warners”?
