FORT PIERCE, Fla., Feb. 1 (UPI) -- Authorities in Florida said they arrested a knife-wielding man who allegedly chased a relative around the house for turning off the TV.

The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office said Fransisco Yanez-Mejia, 30, of Fort Pierce, grabbed a knife after a male family member turned off his TV and chased the other man around the house while threatening to kill him, TCPalm.com reported Monday.

The relative told police he used a small trash can to block the knife and locked himself in a bathroom and called 911.

Police arrived and arrested Yanez-Mejia at about 1:30 a.m. Monday. He told investigators he was using the knife to cut lemons and was not trying to hurt anyone.

Yanez-Mejia was taken to the St. Lucie County Jail in lieu of $5,000 bond. Sheriff's officials said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is involved in the investigation.
