GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) -A man from Gainesville is behind bars after threatening Walmart employees with a machete.

Davon Maurice Jordan, 26, was arrested this weekend at the Walmart at Butler Plaza located on Southwest 42nd street.

Jordan was allegedly yelling inside the store, prompting employees to ask him to leave. When he refused, employees called the authorities and attempted to escort him outside the door.

Jordan then grabbed a machete from a shopping cart and threatened the employees with the weapon.

Florida Man is always using machetes. Probably wouldn't even rate a D from Dr. Sivana. Maybe a D-.

“Jordan then grabbed a machete from a shopping cart and threatened the employees with the weapon.”

Well, you have to give him points for maintaining situational awareness and utilizing a weapon of opportunity.

Florida Man never fails to surprise . . .

I know prices have gone up, even at Wally World, but that’s a bit over the top!

being infected with “Florida Man” Syndrome?

With a name like "Davon Maurice Jordan", he must be oppressed by whitey.

No. The D- is reserved for a so-called Florida Man story posted today where a speeder admitted the white powder in his cannabis scented pulled over for speeding car was in fact cocaine.

This is more C- territory. Machetes and Walmart is common, but still funny in the right circumstance. We don’t take points off for things that happen in a Chuck E. Cheese or Waffle House. Florida Man also gets points for trolleying it around in his Walmart cart instead of in a scabbard. He loses points for doing nothing more interesting than yelling and refusing to leave.

Keep an eye on Davon Maurice Jordan, though. He has potential.

I lived in an apartment down the road from there at The Trails apartments at SR24 and SW34th street. Of course, there was no Walmart at the time, just open fields.

They sell them in Florida stores so that folks can kill the alligators as they attack their children.

Isn’t every other adult in Florida armed? Much like Texas, Utah, Wyoming, etc etc?
