A Pittsfield Township man faces four charges after an incident involving a gun at the Walmart on State Street Feb. 24.

Ivan Anthony Pacek, 64, was arraigned Feb. 25 in  14A District Court on three felony charges: Carrying a concealed weapon and two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon. He was also charged with the misdemeanor charge of brandishing a firearm in public. He was being held on a $50,000 bond.

According to Pittsfield Township Police Lt. Patrick Gray, police were dispatched to Walmart at 7:21 p.m. for a report of a man who pulled a gun. Pacek allegedly pulled out a gun and held it at his side in the checkout aisle after a store clerk requested a manager to assist with the purchase of alcohol.

Police found three BB guns and a pistol on the suspect during his arrest. He was transported to the Washtenaw County Jail.
