An Illinois man who pulled a gun Saturday morning inside a Paducah movie theater has been arrested.

According to Paducah Police, 64-year-old John Grabinski of Ozark, IL turned himself in late Tuesday night and was arrested on warrants charging him with first-degree wanton endangerment, second-degree disorderly conduct, fourth-degree assault and menacing. 

John Hempen of Paducah told officers Saturday morning that Grabinski began cursing his 14-year-old son for kicking the back of his seat in the movie theater at a showing of Star Trek Beyond at the Paducah Cinemark theater. He said he and Grabinski then began arguing. He and several witnesses said Grabinski pushed him, and the two began fighting. Hempen and other witnesses said Grabinski was knocked to the ground, and got up brandishing a handgun. Others in the theater saw the gun, and began running for the exit.

Grabinski was booked into the McCracken County Jail and released on $2,500 cash bond.
