Maria Desimone was arrested in the incident, which occurred December 20 at the Walmart at 1040 Malabar Road in Palm Bay.
According to police, the associate was assisting another customer when Desimone approached her and was upset about the price of a skateboard. Desimone began cursing at the woman and swung the board as if she was going to hit her, police said.
The sales associate pointed her finger at Desimone, who then threatened to kill her, according to police.
The associate called for a manager, and Desimone went to her car and left the store, police said.
She was later arrested on battery charges.
No other details were released.

... ´In 1972, John B. Calhoun detailed the specifications of his Mortality-Inhibiting Environment for Mice: a practical utopia built in the laboratory. Every aspect of Universe 25—as this particular model was called—was pitched to cater for the well-being of its rodent residents and increase their lifespan. ........................
But Calhoun’s work was different. Vogt, Ehrlich, and the others were neo-Malthusians, arguing that population growth would cause our demise by exhausting our natural resources, leading to starvation and conflict. But there was no scarcity of food and water in Calhoun’s universe. The only thing that was in short supply was space. This was, after all, “heaven”—a title Calhoun deliberately used with pitch-black irony. The point was that crowding itself could destroy a society before famine even got a chance. In Calhoun’s heaven, hell was other mice. ´ [Link]
