Two men armed themselves with machetes and threatened people at a Duluth bar after being ejected for aggressive behavior, according to court documents.

Nicholas Joseph Ammesmaki, 31, of Duluth, faces charges of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and fleeing a peace officer by a means other than a motor vehicle, following the June 15 confrontation at the Round Up Bar in Saint Louis County.

The complaint states that officers responded to the bar at about 3:40 p.m. after a bartender reported that two men had become intoxicated and aggressive, prompting him to cut them off and eject them. The bartender told officers that after he removed the men from the bar, they left but soon returned, each carrying a machete. The bartender said the men stood in the doorway, pointing and swinging the blades at people inside, making him feel threatened.
