Jersey Mike's Franchise Owner Banned From Disney After Slapping Cast Member's Behind

A Guest visiting Walt Disney World from South Dakota was arrested after getting drunk at a Resort hotel bar and slapping a female Disney security guard's bottom.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Andrew Ticknor is an owner/operator of Jersey Mike's Subs franchises. He was trespassed from Walt Disney World Resort and arrested for battery of a uniformed security guard.

According to an Orange County Sheriff's arrest report, released months after the incident occurred in March per WDWNT, the Guest was visiting the Three Bridges Bar and Grill at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, located at Walt Disney World, where he reportedly had too much to drink.

Security had to get involved, which is when Ticknor slapped a female security guard's bottom. The security guard, who was not identified in the arrest report, told authorities that the Jersey Mike's Subs owner "open hand slapped her left buttock at one point"."Initially, the security guard said she did not want to press charges as long as Ticknor trespassed from the property. However, she has since changed her mind.

The arrest report also noted that the security guard wore the proper uniform with security patches on both shoulders and had a significant security badge on the front of her shirt. It was apparent the female worked at Disney as a security guard.

When Orange County Sheriff's Deputy Justin Pickle arrived on the scene, he described seeing Ticknor "intoxicated and stumbling around near the restaurant's entrance," per the arrest report.

At first, Ticknor was not arrested; he was just trespassed by Disney, which prompted him to leave in an Uber with his father. However, he returned to Disney World property and went to his Resort hotel room at Disney's Coronado Springs, which led to his arrest and a second trespass from Walt Disney World.

Ticknor was visiting Walt Disney World with wife and family.

The Jersey Mike's Subs owner has since pleaded not guilty to the two first-degree misdemeanor charges, according to Orange Circuit Court records, and a trial date has been set for June 26.

A few days ago, The Blast reported on a Walt Disney World Cast Member who was arrested and charged with video voyeurism after he was caught filming under a Guest's dress at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Jorge Diaz Vega, 26, of Kissimmee, Florida,, ha secretly filmed women at theme parks for the past six years and has over 500 videos.

He got caught on March 31, 2023, when he filmed an 18-year-old woman working at Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities, a retail shop in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

The Blast also recently reported on the arrest of a Florida local at Disney Springs — the shopping and dining district located at Walt Disney World. The man was placed into custody after making "derogatory comments" towards Disney Cast Members, yelling at children, and then proceeding to threaten Orange County sheriff's deputies.
