No Criminal Charges for 'Tigger' Actor Who Hit Teen at Disney World

FOXNews.com - No Criminal Charges for 'Tigger' Actor Who Hit Teen at Disney World - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News: "Criminal charges will not be filed against a Disney employee accused of hitting a teenager while in costume as the Winnie the Pooh character 'Tigger,' authorities said.

The State Attorney's Office announced Thursday that it will not press charges against Michael J. Fedelem. Prosecutors made the decision after reviewing a complaint from New Hampshire resident Jerry Monaco.

Monaco videotaped his 14-year-old son, Jerry Jr., posing with a costumed Fedelem at Disney-MGM Studios in January. At some point a confrontation occurred between the boy and Fedelem. The father later watched the videotape and said Fedelem intentionally hit his son 'on or about the head,' Orange County Sheriff officials said."
