Disneyland arrest

Disneyland arrest, A Disneyland employee has been arrested on suspicion of possessing a destructive device following a small explosion in a trash can at the California theme park on Tuesday that prompted the evacuation of Mickey's Toontown, police said on Wednesday.

Christian Barnes, 22, identified as an outdoor vending cast member at Walt Disney Co's Disneyland, was being held on $1 million bail, Sergeant Bob Dunn of the Anaheim Police Department said in a statement.

"Barnes was cooperating with investigators and has indicated that this is an isolated incident with unanticipated impacts," Dunn said.

The small explosion in a trash can, shortly before 5:30 p.m. local time on Tuesday, prompted the evacuation of Mickey's Toontown, but visitors were later allowed to return. There were no reports of damage or injury.

Dunn said that officers responding to the scene searched the trash can and found remnants of a water bottle, which he said was indicative of a dry ice explosion.

Disneyland officials were not immediately available for comment.
