Naturally, the staff decided enough was enough and, with help from some patrons, gave Gann the boot. But Gann wasn’t ready to leave. He took out a knife and a Taser and stabbed a 63-year-old man in the groin.

Gann took off running, but Michigan State Police caught him. After refusing to surrender, he was finally apprehended with a bloody knife, Taser, and baton in hand. 

 Just days earlier, he’d been arrested at the same bar for being belligerent. That time, he reportedly cursed out officers and tried to break the windows of a patrol car with his head and feet. 

Gann was charged with assault with intent to murder, possession of a Taser, and assaulting police officers. His bond was set at $100,000, and one condition of his release was to steer clear of Big Ugly Fish.

Gann has been a registered nurse in Florida since 2017 and was working as a travel nurse in Michigan.
