The loaded Glock was hidden inside a bag in a water fountain next to the suspects' table, police said. The bag contained a loaded handgun with extra ammunition, as well as a wallet belonging to one of the suspects, according to police.
"We understand that even a few incidents can be disturbing," said Police Chief Jamie Knox in a statement. "That’s why our Police Department has stepped up downtown patrols recently during weekends, increasing visibility and enhancing public safety."
Last month, a suspect in a "dine and dash" situation at a downtown Walnut Creek restaurant opened fire after being confronted about not paying for a meal.
