A Disney World ticket booker alerted police to a domestic violence victim after taking their call
A Walt Disney World employee who took a call from a woman in Pennsylvania inquiring about booking tickets to the Florida resort on January 9 alerted police in central Pennsylvania that the woman may be dealing with a domestic violence situation at her home, police said.
During the call, the Disney employee heard the woman, who had initially called about booking ticket to the resort, scream “get off me” and “get away from me,” an affidavit from the York County Magisterial District court said.
The employee “became concerned and sensed something was off” when the woman started only answering “yes” or “no” questions and wouldn’t go into detail about her current situation, according to the affidavit.
