Man Arrested After Endangering Guests and Breaking New Law Near Disney Springs
Florida man was arrested near Disney Springs yesterday after deputies say he was caught driving 104 mph in a 40 mph zone, authorities confirmed. The driver, identified as Hennish Bahadur, was taken into custody under Florida’s recently implemented “Super Speeder” law, which targets drivers exceeding speed limits by 50 mph or more.
A Scary Arrest
According to the arrest report, deputies pulled Bahadur over in the vicinity of the popular shopping and entertainment district after clocking his excessive speed.
Disney Springs is a bustling outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment complex at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando. Known for its mix of high-end retailers, unique boutiques, and a wide range of restaurants and live entertainment, the area attracts millions of visitors each year. The busy streets and heavy pedestrian traffic make speed enforcement particularly important to ensure the safety of guests and employees alike. The fact that this dangerous driving happened in an area with such a density of children does not go unnoticed by parents.
A New Law Enacted
Florida’s Super Speeder law, enacted earlier this year, allows law enforcement to impose enhanced penalties for extreme speeding violations, including higher fines and potential license suspensions. Authorities say the law is intended to curb dangerous driving behavior and prevent serious accidents on state roadways.
Bahadur’s arrest comes amid heightened traffic enforcement near high-traffic areas like Disney Springs, where large crowds of tourists and locals converge daily. No injuries were reported during the incident, and Bahadur was taken to the local jail following his arrest.
Deputies are reminding drivers to observe posted speed limits and exercise caution, especially in busy areas frequented by pedestrians and visitors. “Speeding isn’t just a ticket—it can be deadly,” the statement read.
As Florida continues to crack down on extreme speeding, this arrest serves as a stark reminder that authorities are actively monitoring roadways around major destinations, including Walt Disney World Resort.
