A North Fort Myers man was arrested after deputies say he assaulted a clerk at a North Naples Chevron.

Bronson Eugene Layton, 25, faces misdemeanor charges of assault, battery, disorderly conduct and trespassing.

The clerk at the Chevron at 8901 U.S. 41 N., across from Mercato, called the Collier County Sheriff's Office for help after a customer threatened him. Deputies pulled surveillance footage that showed Layton telling the clerk he would slit his throat and "kick his (expletive)."

In the video, Layton is seen knocking over merchandise and punching the clerk in the face, according to an arrest report. At one point, the clerk pulled out a handgun to defend himself, but Layton continued to confront him, backing the clerk into a cooler.

After Layton exited the store, the clerk said he followed him outside to get his license plate and was once again confronted. The surveillance footage shows the clerk pinning Layton to the ground for about three minutes, then letting him go. Layton then took his shirt off and threw it at the clerk and chased the clerk around the parking lot, according to an arrest report.

The clerk said the incident lasted about 30 minutes, during which he told Layton to leave the store at least 20 times. The clerk estimated the store lost $2,500 worth in sales.

Layton also was charged with violating his probation on a marijuana possession charge. As of Thursday, he remained in jail.
