Police say officers made an arrest
Police told Gulf Coast News that officers detained a man matching a description near Crawford Street and Cleveland Avenue.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office booking record confirms that the Fort Myers Police Department arrested a 41-year-old man and that the jail recorded one count of aggravated battery involving a deadly weapon. The charge is an accusation and has not been adjudicated.
The accused is not named here because no response from him or an attorney was available. The public booking record lists him as released.
No road closure or continuing public safety order was reported. This brief therefore does not carry a breaking flag.
