Pujol
Rather than pay the entry fee to Epcot, Pujol tried to convince security that he was a federal agent guarding someone
Miami man Emerito Pujol, 74, has been arrested for impersonating a Federal officer to try and avoid paying nearly $100 to get into Epcot.
Pujol flashed a fake badge at an Epcot employee while going through the park's turnstiles around noon Saturday.
When the employee asked to see the badge again, Pujol claimed he was an undercover officer looking for someone.
He tweaked his story slightly when security guards started asking questions, claiming he was 'in service' and 'guarding someone important,' according to the police report.
He eventually admitted he was only pretending to be a police officer and was just waiting for his family when a deputy demanded he produce his badge.
The badge Pujol showed early declared he was an 'honorary member' of the 'American Federation of Police.'
Epcot Center is the second of four theme parks built at the Walt Disney World Resort.
Known as a 'permanent world's fair,' the park is primarily dedicated to technological innovation and international culture.
It is the third most visited park in U.S.
Pujol was charged with unlawful use of a police badge, falsely impersonating an officer, and petty theft.
He has bonded out of the Orange County Jail.
