ORLANDO, Fla. – An Orange County deputy accused of breaking into cars at Walt Disney World while on duty pleaded no contest on Wednesday to charges of burglary and petit theft.
Deputy Kirk Smurawa, 40, a former Marine who was with the Orange County Sheriff's Office since 2002, was arrested in August after undercover investigators say they caught him breaking into a car at Hollywood Studios and stealing at least $100 from a purse.
