Two brothers who pistol-whipped and shot a patron mistaken for robber at their local drive-thru business pleaded guilty to assault-related charges and will serve prison terms.

Mohammad Altawil, 25, and Sultan Altawil, 34, both of Canton, pleaded guilty to counts of kidnapping, a first-degree felony, and felonious assault, a second-degree felony.

Police say the pair held a 27-year-old Canton man at gunpoint from his car on Aug. 29 and forced the man out of his vehicle and behind the counter at their Maggiore’s drive-thru located at 1037 Dueber Avenue SW. The patron was pistol-whipped and shot once in the leg.

The brothers who co-owned the business, called police and reported that the victim had tried to rob the store and drive away, according to court records.
