News: Tigger is cleared of all charges after being accused of assault

Posted at 6:35 AM EST (1135 GMT)

Feb. 16th, 2007 -- Michael J. Fedelem, 31, accused of punching a boy at a Disney theme park while dressed as Tigger, won't face any charges after the state attorney's office reviewed a video of the alleged incident.

Fedelem was suspended by Disney after a confrontation at Walt Disney World with Jerry Monaco Jr., 15. Jerry's dad, Jerry Monaco Sr., said Fedelem sucker-punched his son and has hired an attorney for representation.

The district attorney said he believes Jerry Jr. instigated the incident. He also questioned the Monaco's reaction to the situation. "The family didn't react like they wanted justice, they reacted like they wanted cash."
