The security guard told deputies that when she asked the man to wear his face mask, McKin told her that he would put it on when he got inside. When she informed him of Disney’s policy of wearing masks at all times on property, she told deputies he told her to leave him alone and then spit at her.

According to the arrest report, she said some of his spit hit her forehead.
