Tourist Arrested In Disney Bomb Threat

German Man Claimed He Was Joking, Deputies Say

A German tourist was arrested Sunday after he told a cast member at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom that he had two bombs in his backpack, according to authorities.

Jochen Naumann, 37, was arrested on charges of making a false report of a bomb.

According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, Naumann was going through a security checkpoint at the entrance of the Magic Kingdom at about 10:22 a.m. and told a worker that he had two bombs in his backpack.

The Disney cast member questioned Naumann, of Leipzig, Germany, and he again stated that there were two bombs in his backpack, deputies said.

The cast member contacted an Orange County deputy who was posted nearby, and a bomb-sniffing dog checked the bag, the sheriff's office said. No explosive devices were found in the bag.

In an interview with deputies, Naumann claimed he was joking about the bombs.

Naumann was arrested and taken to the Orange County Jail.
