Antonio Ferguson II, 37, was sentenced Tuesday in Montgomery County Pleas Court to up to five years of “community control sanctions” after he pled guilty in March to aggravated assault, according to court documents.

News Center 7 reported last July that two people were hospitalized following a shooting at around 2:20 a.m. outside the Palms’ Lounge at the 4900 block of Old Barn Road.

A fight started inside the bar and then went out into the parking lot where several people started shooting each other, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said at the time.

Medics transported two people to area hospitals.

Ferguson was formally charged back in August, court documents said.
