NORTH MIAMI, Fla. — Police have arrested a suspect accused of damaging the same North Miami hair salon multiple times.
Back in February, police arrested Maxime Nelson, 51, after he allegedly used a shovel to break a sign and security cameras outside a salon located along the 12000 block of Northeast Sixth Avenue before taking the shovel to the shop owner’s vehicle.
It was all captured on surveillance video, police said.
Fast forward to Wednesday afternoon, where that same shop owner contacted police after she said Nelson walked past her store and made a gesture, prompting the owner to tell Nelson to leave the area or she would call the police.
That prompted Nelson to wield an axe and gesture toward the victim while saying that he would cut her head off.
After the victim called police, responding officers located Nelson about a block away with a hatchet in his possession.
As of Thrusday afternoon, Nelson, who was listed as being out on felony bond, was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
