A man fought his girlfriend and grabbed a stroller, knocking their infant daughter to the ground at Hollywood Studios last month, authorities said.
Fortunately, the baby, who was evaluated by Reedy Creek first responders, was not injured by the fall, according to an Orange County Sheriff’s arrest report.
The child’s father, Matthew Johnston, 40, of Port St. Lucie, was arrested for domestic violence after he was accused of punching his girlfriend, and he was taken to jail, Orange Circuit Court documents showed. The state attorney’s office later decided not to prosecute him, according to a July 25 court filing.
“From the investigation which has been made, it is the opinion of the writer that this case is not suitable for prosecution,” the filing said. The Florida Department of Children and Families was notified about the July 5 arrest.
The girlfriend didn’t want to press charges and said she didn’t remember Johnston striking her but multiple people witnessed the fight including two strangers, her family and a Disney security guard, according to the arrest report.
Two bystanders told law enforcement Johnston appeared to be drunk and was arguing with his girlfriend over who was going to take the baby.
“They both witnessed Matthew punch (his girlfriend) in the chest with a closed fist and then attempt to push her away from the stroller so he could take the baby. They then observed Matthew aggressively grab the stroller from (his girlfriend) and saw (the baby) fall from the stroller,” the arrest report stated.

Why is free republic allowing these gossip/TMZ posts?
But really, are you okay down there?
Many freepers have been following the news about Disney because the company has taken a kid-friendly family franchise and turned it into a woke indoctrination center to sexualize kids. They entered politics by trying to influence the legislature to continue to allow pornographic lessons in the schools, and DeSantis used his enormous political aptitude to stop them. And many here are watching DeSantis as future presidential material.
So this particular story shows how DeSantis, having ended Disney's favored status and making them rely on local authorities when there is trouble instead of their private park police, has frustrated Disney from covering up bad behavior in their park. It's a warning to families what could happen if your continue to pour money into DisneyWorld, expecting a wholesome family vacation.

The world has changed a lot in the last few years and FR has
also. It no longer is the go to site for news but now it is
the chit/chat site for most everything but what it started out
as being. Have a good evening.
Free Republic allows for the posting of threads on many different subjects. If they don’t interest you, move on.
That’s what I do and it’s worked well for the past 21+ years.
Disney is a crap operation. Prolly will get progressively worse.
I live in the Pensacola area. If the wind is right, the smell off the Gulf will cause liberals to writhe and moan.
Yep, I am. My job just ended, but I’m looking, and my company is actually looking to see if they can pick me back up.
I could have sworn the enabling legislation to get rid of Reedy Creek allowed the district to exist until mid-2023, so I’m not sure why a sheriff was involved. It’s always possible that outside po-po were always an option.
Good luck with that. There seem to be a lot of jobs around post-pandemic. God bless.
God bless you, too.
