Tobi previously pleaded guilty in a 2014 Atlantic City shooting that wounded two men, according to court records. In that case, he was indicted on four counts, including aggravated assault with a firearm.
Under the deal, he pled guilty to a fourth-degree charge of aggravated assault and was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
He also has a pending case from a September 2016 shootout. He was given bail in that case, which was prior to the new bail reform rules.
Brown pleaded guilty to cocaine possession in 2014, but was given no jail time, court records show.
