JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook helped neutralize a potential dangerous situation earlier this month involving a man with a machete.
CCSO says Cook was visiting a local business when a man with a large machete was seen acting irrationally at the front counter.
The sheriff quickly took the machete from the subject and placed him in handcuffs, deputies say.
A police report says the incident happened at General RV located at 1577 Wells Road. Deputies say the man was observed trying to sell air fresheners for .25 cents and brandishing a machete.
He told deputies that he was a 'Good Samaritan' and further advised that he didn't know where he was and that he needed to be Baker Acted.
He was taken to a medical facility for treatment.
