A Brooklyn man suspected of firing shots at Resorts World Casino amid a brawl at the South Ozone Park establishment on Friday night has been arrested, police reported.
Jaquan Roberts, 22, was charged in connection with firing a gun in the casino’s parking lot moments after the fracas erupted inside the casino’s Fat Tuesday daiquiri bar.
The fight took place on the night of April 3, when patrons, waiting to get into the bar during its grand opening, began throwing punches and chairs, allegedly causing thousands of dollars in damage. Video of the brawl went viral after being posted on YouTube.
Three others were arrested following the brawl, and several individuals were hospitalized with minor injuries.
Roberts is being charged with two counts of assault, criminal possession of a weapon in the second and third degree and first-degree reckless endangerment.
