GAINESVILLE, Fla., Aug. 13 (UPI) -- Authorities in Florida said they arrested a man accused of flashing a pistol while arguing with a woman inside a pancake restaurant.

The Alachua County Sheriff's Office said Evander Tyran Lewis, 22, of Leesburg threatened to pull a "gat" while arguing with a woman inside the IHOP restaurant Sunday in Gainesville and lifted his shirt to reveal a black Glock pistol when the woman challenged his claim, The Gainesville Sun reported Monday.

"I'm from Leesburg ... I'll blow your head off," he allegedly told the woman.

The woman told two deputies outside of the restaurant about the incident and Lewis was arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a weapon and carrying a concealed weapon.
