David Rodriguez, 28, remains in Lee County Jail without bond and will be arraigned March 4.
A Fort Myers man who is accused of holding up a McGregor Boulevard convenience store disguised with a wig is facing armed robbery charges after Lee County Sheriff's Office deputies found him with wigs and wadded up cash at his home.
Shortly after 9 p.m. Saturday, the Sheriff's Office responded to the 7-Eleven at 15021 McGregor Boulevard on a report of an armed robbery.
The 7-Eleven cashier/victim reported a man in his 20s entered the store wearing a gray hooded sweater and possibly a wig. The victim said the man approached the counter as if to make a purchase but instead brandished a black pistol and demanded cash.
LCSO aviation and canine units were called in after receiving additional witness information leading to a residence in the 10000 block of Clear Lake Loop in the Lago Del Sol Apartment complex.
Deputies located Rodriguez, who matched the suspect's description, noting he was sweating profusely and found, in plain view in his home, a gray, hooded sweater, several wigs and a large amount of wadded up cash in an open dresser drawer.
