DaShawn Bonner had been charged with assault after the incident. He is serving a 30-day suspended sentence.
Sevierville Police said Bonner initially shoved 66-year-old Pedro Ngayan, of Pigeon Forge, during a confrontation inside the store. Bonnerâs father was also present during the incident.
Ngayan drew a handgun at that point, and both Bonner and his father fled. However, police said Ngayan followed Bonner and cornered him in the storeâs vision center. At that point, Bonner drew a gun of his own and Ngayan fled.
Bonner agreed to surrender his gun as part of the plea agreement.
Witnesses called in the incident to 911 as an active shooter, but Sevierville Police later determined neither man discharged their gun inside the store.
