This week’s segment of WINK Neighborhood Watch features a knife-wielding customer, a fish named ‘Bean,’ and an update on a double shooting. James King mugshot. CREDIT: LEE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE James King was arrested after Cape Coral police say he pulled out a knife on two Metro PCS employees. According to CCPD, King got angry when they asked him to repeat himself. “The employees couldn’t quite hear what he was saying, so they asked him to repeat himself. He got really upset, put his foot like smashed his phone on the counter. And then they said, Hey, sir, you need to leave,” said Mercedes Simons with the Cape Coral Police Department. Witnesses said King became extremely agitated after being asked to leave by employees. When asked why he had a large knife with him, King told officers he was taking it to his friend’s house so he could help chop salad for the night. King has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without the intent to kill and taken to the Lee County Jail.
