Disney dine and dash: Police say man didn’t pay lounge tab

ORLANDO, Fla.

Authorities say a man has made Walt Disney World his happiest place on Earth for dining and dashing.

Fifty-one-year-old Jerry Moody was arrested Tuesday after the manager of a lounge at Disney’s Contemporary Resort said he racked up a $92 bar tab and tried to leave without paying.

The Orlando Sentinel said that according to an arrest report, a waitress recognized him as fitting the description of a man who tried to do the same thing at another lounge the previous night.

Both lounges are on Disney property but not inside the theme park. Many Disney restaurants and lounges don’t require admission fees.

Police say Moody acknowledged that he shouldn’t be at the resort but told detectives he likes to go to Disney World. Reports show Moody’s been arrested on Disney properties five times. He’s being held on a $5,100 bond.

The newspaper said Disney had no comment.

Bear is tranquilized after climbing tree on Colo. campus

BOULDER, Colo.

Wildlife officials tranquilized a 60-pound bear that found a resting spot in a tree on the University of Colorado campus in Boulder.

The Daily Camera reported that the 2-year-old bear was spotted Friday morning and stayed in the tree for about four hours until wildlife officers used a dart gun to tranquilize it. The bear fell about 30 feet, hitting some mats before rolling onto the ground.

It briefly popped its head up before falling asleep.

Jennifer Churchill with Colorado Parks and Wildlife said the bear will be relocated as far from campus as possible.

In 2012, a 200-pound bear was tranquilized after climbing a tree near a CU residence hall. That bear, which was relocated 50 miles away, was hit and killed by a car a few days later.
