Ronjour Jacobs, 32, is accused of pulling out the gun during a brawl that occurred in the early hours of Jan. 11 at Luca's Coney Island, 2469 Washtenaw Ave., in Ypsilanti Township.

Jacobs originally was facing six charges total, but after an initial three assault charges were consolidated in to one and two other initial charges were dismissed, he ended up facing two.

Since the incident, AnnArbor.com has reported Jacobs did have a concealed weapons permit, but as police pointed out, that doesn't mean he had the right to bring out his pistol during the fight.

Judge Darlene O'Brien scheduled sentencing for April 1.

In response to the pressure from township officials and the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office, Luca's owner George Gsokas said he is willing to permanently close the restaurant between midnight and 6 a.m. to minimize the opportunity for incidents like this to happen.

There also is surveillance footage of the brawl available.
