Indiana Man Charged After Attempted House of Blues Break-In at Disney Springs
Court filings show a not-guilty plea with a public-defender request denied based on reported biweekly income.
Overview
- An Orange County Sheriff’s report says Adam Stephenson, 28, tried entering security codes, then beat and kicked two locked doors to restricted House of Blues areas just before 11 p.m. on February 2.
- The doors were clearly marked and chained, leading to House of Blues offices and the concert venue, according to the arrest report.
- After being confronted, he entered the nearby M&M’s Store, knocked items off shelves, and used high-top metal stools to block Disney Security and House of Blues employees while fleeing.
- Deputies described Stephenson as intoxicated and said his actions caused a public disturbance and endangered others at Disney Springs.
- Court records state he was arrested on charges of disorderly intoxication and attempted burglary, pleaded not guilty, and was denied a public defender after reporting about $4,000 in biweekly income, with the case pending.
