The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said a security guard approached Kelly McKin, 51, of Palm Beach, last month as he tried to enter the convention center at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, WFTV reported.

She asked McKin to put on a mask. He told her he would put one on when he was inside. She said the resort policy is to wear a mask at all times while on the property. He told her to leave him alone, then spit in her direction. Some of the expectorate hit her on the forehead.

Deputies met with the man the following day after the security guard identified him from a surveillance photo. He denied spitting at her, investigators said.

McKin was arrested and charged with battery on a security officer.
