Lake County sheriff's deputies said Jack Otto, 63, was carrying the flowers and his leftovers from lunch at Gator's Dockside when he walked into Insight Financial in Eustice about 2 p.m. Monday, the Orlando Sentinel reported Tuesday.
Investigators said surveillance footage of the incident shows Otto approach the counter and pull the rifle from his bouquet. Deputies said he pointed the weapon at several customers and employees before fleeing with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Lt. John Herrell said deputies received a call earlier in the day from a man who reported Otto had stolen the rifle from his home.
Deputies said Otto is considered "armed and extremely dangerous."
