THROW-DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE — Drunk Guest Throws Resort Furniture at Police & Wakes Up Guests After Claiming Disney Cast Members Battered Her

If you had been staying at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside last month in hopes of a relaxing vacation, you might have been out of luck. One drunk guest was arrested for causing a ruckus at the resort. She was rude to employees, made a scene, and threw items — including a chair aimed at Orange County Sheriff’s deputies and Disney Security.

Jillian Dyehouse, 40, who lives in Ohio, was charged with three misdemeanors for disorderly intoxication, trespass, and resisting an officer without violence, but the criminal charges were ultimately dropped early this month, Orange Circuit Court records show.

The situation at Walt Disney World unfolded at 10:45 p.m. on September 5 when Disney Security called the sheriff’s office for help, according to the arrest report.

Dyehouse “had made several false allegations of Resort staff of battering her and was now heavily intoxicated. Disney security staff advised they would like deputies to assist in issuing a formal trespass and removing Jillian from the property,” the report said.

Deputies led her back to her hotel room to get her belongings now that Dyehouse was kicked out.

Dyehouse was “noticeably intoxicated,” so she was stumbling and heavily slurring her words, the report said.

She began arguing loudly with deputies and Disney Security.

“During the argument, Jillian began throwing items in the room as she packed, causing so much noise that it woke up guests in neighboring rooms, who opened their doors to see what was causing the commotion and asked to be moved to separate rooms for the night,” the report said.

The deputies kept talking to Dyehouse to convince her to gather her belongings without causing any more problems.

“Jillian got angry once again and intentionally threw a chair in the direction of deputies and Disney staff on scene,” the report said.

Deputies arrested her, but the report said Dyehouse tensed her arms to protest the arrest, so authorities put her on the ground to handcuff her.

Dyehouse was taken to Orange County Jail and booked.

The Florida Department of Children and Families intervened because Dyehouse had her underage daughter with her. The child was then watched by a nearby family member, the report said.

WDWNT could not reach anyone at the Orange County Public Defender’s Office, which represented Dyehouse, for comment Friday.

“From the investigation which has been made, it is the opinion of the writer that this case is not suitable for prosecution,” the new Orange-Osceola State Attorney Andrew Bain wrote in an October 10 filing. “This action is taken to clear the records and to release subject’s bond if any has been posted responsive to the above charges. If in custody, defendant should be released.”
