However, Proudfoot also provided his date of birth and home address after he was questioned by deputies. According to investigators, he allegedly claimed he was assigned to move items from one location to another and failed to provide employee identification.
An arrest affidavit said Proudfoot attempted to open one of the lockers several times but was unsuccessful. Shortly after, he confessed to moving the items in order to prove Walt Disney World had a weak security system due to having easy access to steal the items.
“He had an application for Walt Disney World Security pending and was moving the items to show weaknesses in the security of the resorts in the hope of securing a better paying job at WDW,”
The suspect told deputies that he had no intention on stealing the items but investigators revealed that thousands of dollars worth of items were stolen from the park within the past few months. Various stolen items included multiple light fixtures that were ripped off from bathrooms, a wooden towel cabinet, and a gold necklace and were find in Proudfoot’s home after deputies obtained a search warrant.
