FORT MYERS, Fla. — A 31-year-old man is in the Lee County Jail, accused of robbing a barbershop and stabbing the worker in the neck.

The worker was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Greggersen is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, robbery with a weapon and providing a false name to law enforcement.
