A federal investigation of illegal gun sales led to the arrest Wednesday of a Walt Disney World security guard in a murder-for-hire plot.
The plot involved a $2,000 down payment made more than a week ago to an ex-convict described by law-enforcement agents as an underworld gun dealer with a history of violence.
Parl Dicks, the Disney employee, admitted late Wednesday that he sought to have his wife's ex-husband killed for $4,000 to settle a child-custody dispute.
The arrest was made at Disney's Fort Wilderness campground by members of FDLE; the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and the Osceola County Sheriff's Office.
