The man stopped his truck and approached the fruit when nearby home owner, 64-year-old Josefina Tometich of Fort Myers, began yelling at the man and threatened to shoot him if he touched the mango.

At the threat, the 49-year-old man returned to his truck and drove off, fruit-less, stated the Lee County's Sheriff's Office.

But when the couple stopped at a nearby intersection down the road, the truck's back window shattered and Tometich was seen walking behind the vehicle with a firearm that looked like a rifle.

The couple called 911 and deputies later found a pellet gun inside of Tometich's home.

She was arrested and later released a few hours later on a $7,500 bond.
