A woman who was arrested with two young children accompanying her and crying has been identified tentatively by social media users as Linda Funwell.
Linda Funwell, 32, was arrested at Disneyland on Wednesday, September 24th, 2024.
Video of her arrest at the Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim went viral as she was spotted with her two young kids crying.
According to reports, the lady in question had tried to pass her kids off as younger than three years to get them free entry into the park but was stopped by Disneyland Resort security who asked for her ID.
The woman at that point became belligerent and uncooperative, leading to the Anaheim Police Department being called in to arrest her.
She was arrested and placed in cuffs as her two children bitterly cried and shouted for help.
