Investigators said Nieves Morales is suspected in eight previous commercial armed robberies between Jan. 22 and Feb. 21.
"This cape criminal's string of violent armed robberies has come to an end," the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post.
Police earlier released surveillance footage of a Feb. 2 robbery at a Family Dollar store in Orlando. The footage shows an armed suspect disguised as Batman.
The sheriff's office said Nieves Morales is believed to have been committing the robberies to fund a drug addiction.
The suspect was booked on an armed robbery count and further charges are expected as the investigation continues.
