Lexington police have arrested a man on the run from Florida, with a long and violent criminal past. Jonathan Giraldo was arrested Thursday afternoon at Eastland Parkway and New Orleans Court.

Officials say Giraldo along with Christopher Perry and Atwood Perry went to the home of the manager at an Amscot store. They tied up his family and made him go to the store in Orange County, Florida to empty the safe.

Surveillance video shows one of the men dressed head to toe in yellow gear. After the manager opened the safe, the men met an accomplice outside. Giraldo and the Perry's left a bag inside store that officials feared was a bomb. A bomb squad responded to the situation, detonated the bag, and discovered that nothing of danger was inside the bag.

Police caught up with the Perry brothers in South Carolina Thursday morning. Giraldo is being held in the Fayette County Detention Center. They will be charged with an armed home invasion, armed burglary, kidnapping, grand theft, false imprisonment, among other charges.

All three are expected to be extradited back to Florida.
