A Georgia mother was arrested at Walt Disney World while trying to enter EPCOT after security officials found two handguns and some marijuana in her child's diaper bag, according to court documents obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.
Yunique Smith, 27, of Stone Mountain, Georgia, was arrested July 18 and faces misdemeanor counts of carrying a concealed weapon and marijuana possession.
