Jayson Moralessales, of Orange, agreed to meet the seller in person to buy the tool, but instead, fled with the item without paying on Oct. 5, police in Bloomingdale said.
Moralessales was identified as a suspect and arrested on Monday, Oct. 7, police said. He was released on a summons pending his court appearance.
