TO GO THER
ALEX: HE DID.
HE SAYS HE WANTED TO MAKE A
VIDEO, NOT ABOUT DISNEY, BUT
ABOUT THE WILDLIFE ON DISCOVERY
ISLAND, WHICH HAS BEEN CLOSED TO
VISITORS FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS.
>> EVER SINCE I WAS A KID I
WANTED TO GET ON THAT ISLAND.
ALEX: RICHARD MCGUIRE’S YOUTUBE
CHANNEL, CALLED SOUTHERN PIRATES
OUTDOORS, IS FILLED WITH VIDEOS
OF HIM EXPLORING SWAMPS AND
CATCHING BIG TURTLES AND
ALLIGATORS.
SO BACK IN APRIL, MCGUIRE MADE
THE TRIP TO ORLANDO, CROSSED
OVER ONTO DISNEY’S PRIVATE
DISCOVERY ISLAND, AND SET UP
CAMP.
BUT THINGS QUICKLY CHANGED.
MCGUIRE WAS CAUGHT ON ONE OF
DISNEY’S SECURITY CAMERAS.
THEY CALLED POLICE AND SOON
DOZENS OF SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES HAD
SURROUNDED THE ISLAND.
FOR A FULL DAY DEPUTIES SEARCH
THE ISLAND, SOME WITH GUNS
DRAWN.
EVENTUALLY, THEY ARRESTED HIM.
NOW FOUR MONTHS AFTER THE
EXPERIENCE, MCGUIRE SAYS H
DEFINITELY WOULD NOT DO IT
AGAIN.
>> YEAH, I WOULDN’T RECOMMEND
ANYBODY EVER ATTEMPTING TO GO
OUT THERE AGAIN.
I’D SAY DO NOT.
GET TO A BAIL BONDSMAN BECAUSE
YOU’RE GOING TO GO TO JAIL.
IT’S NOT WORTH IT
ALEX: MCGUIRE WAS CHARGED WITH
TRESPA
