    Woman Arrested After Dragging a Child By Harness in Disney World

    A woman was arrested at Epcot in Walt Disney World after witnesses saw her dragging a child by a harness in an Epcot bathroom, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

    A 911 call was received Tuesday night about a woman who was yelling and dragging a child by a harness he or she was wearing, according to deputies. The woman was later identified as 34-year-old Sara Villar.

    As a result of being dragged, the child hit his or her head on the bathroom floor, according to authorities.

    When deputies confronted Villar, she refused to give her name. She became angry and turned a stroller “in an aggressive manner”, which caused a child to fall out of the stroller, the report states.

    Deputies tried to get Villar to calm down and identify herself, but she refused.  She was then escorted to a patrol vehicle where she began to hit her head on the hood and dent it, according to authorities.
