Police said Jeana Maria Dubois, 26, and an unknown man attempted to steal about $290 worth of motion sensor lights.
As they passed the cash registers with the stolen items, a loss prevention officer attempted to stop them, police said.
The man ran off and Dubois, according to police, pulled out a handgun and told the employee to "back off" or she would shoot him in the face.
Police said she ran into the parking lot and the duo left in a black Lincoln SUV.
Detectives said tips made to Crime Stoppers helped them track down Dubois, who was arrested Wednesday on charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and armed robbery.
Anyone with information about the man's identity is asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
