According to WFTV 9 ABC Deputies arrested an armed man impersonating a police officer Monday at the entrance of Magic Kingdom.
Kevin Webb tried walking through the metal detectors yesterday morning at 8am with a gun in his front pocket. Webb admitted he was carrying his gun and that he was a retired Police Officer in Arkansas. According to the arrest report he owned up to having the firearm in his right front pocket immediately and then showed something in his wallet to the security officer, trying to indicate he was a police officer.
After some research it was determined he was not a retired officer but he did work for the Police Department in Arkansas but was fired.
Webb was arrested and booked into the Orange County Jail on charges of impersonating an officer and carrying a concealed firearm.

I am really glad they caught him. Bag and security checks are a nuissance, but when stuff like this happens you’re glad it’s in place. I am glad Disney always thinks safety first!
I really hope EVERYONE has to go through the metal detectors and not just those randomly selected. It was a good job he had to go through. Why on earth would you need to take a gun into the happiest place on earth? It doesn’t bear thinking about what could have happened. ?
Not sure why they would want to bring a gun in. I feel like that’s such a “duh” thing going into a Disney park. Glad they handled it well
