Indiana Man Arrested After Late Night Chaos at Disney Springs
A late night at Disney Springs took a chaotic turn earlier this month when a 28-year-old Indiana man was arrested after allegedly attempting to break into the House of Blues Orlando and causing a disturbance inside the M&M’s Store at Disney Springs.

According to the Orange County Sheriff’s arrest report, Adam Stephenson of Morgantown, Indiana, was observed just before 11 p.m. on February 2 attempting to enter security codes into a locked door at House of Blues. When that did not work, deputies say he began pounding on the door and tried to kick it open. The doors, which were clearly marked and located behind a chain, led to House of Blues offices and the concert venue itself. After failing to gain entry at two separate doors, Stephenson reportedly fled the area when confronted.
Authorities say the situation escalated when he entered the nearby M&M’s Store, knocked several items off shelves, and then ran out. The report also indicates he used high top metal bar stools to block Disney Security and House of Blues employees who were attempting to detain him. Deputies described him as intoxicated, noting that his behavior caused a public disturbance and endangered the safety of others enjoying an evening at Disney Springs.

Stephenson was arrested and charged with disorderly intoxication and attempted burglary of a structure. Court records show he pleaded not guilty. He later requested a public defender, but that request was denied after he reported earning $4,000 bi weekly.
While Disney Springs is known for dining, shopping, and live entertainment, incidents involving intoxicated or disruptive guests have made headlines in recent years. This latest episode serves as a reminder that even outside the parks, security presence remains strong and law enforcement responds quickly to protect guests and Cast Members alike.
