A man is accused of driving a company car through a Lee County neighborhood crashing into garages and hitting a resident on Friday.

According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, Riquelmis Cazadilla, 50, is accused of crashing a company car into four garages in North Fort Myers.

Deputies went to Seaside Harbour Drive and found the garages smashed into by a car.

A victim also sustained non-life threatening injuries after, reports say, he was hit by Cazadilla while driving.

Another person also claims Cazadilla swerved in an attempt to hit her but missed.

Cazadilla then went to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office North District driving the damaged car telling deputies he went on the rampage because a co-worker owed him $10,000.

The neighborhood Cazadilla was wreaking havoc in was where the co-worker and his family lived. Cazadilla is also said to have made multiple threats against the worker and his family.

Cazadilla faces multiple charges including, extortion, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, criminal mischief, and two counts of culpable negligence.

Deputies said the damage to the homes and vehicle will cost an estimated $8,300.
