A robber in Cape Coral threatened a Wal-Mart manager and worker with a machete before fleeing with computer equipment.
Lee County sheriff's officials say they arrested 39-year-old Giovanni Cortes shortly after the robbery early Friday morning.
The News-Press reports that a store manager told deputies she approached Cortes to ask for a receipt as he tried to leave without paying.
She says he pulled a machete from his pants and told her he didn't need one. When another employee tried to stop him, deputies say Cortes threatened to kill him.
Deputies arrested Cortes in his car. He is charged with aggravated assault and larceny.
