KETTERING — A pre-trial court date has been scheduled for the owner of Troni’s Pizza & Restaurant, who was charged with domestic violence after he punched his brother, the owner of Jimmy’s Italian Kitchen.

Sami Troni, 52, of Kettering, entered a not guilty plea through his attorney Lee Hohl, on Dec. 1, according to Kettering Municipal Court records.

The pre-trial is scheduled for Dec. 17 before Judge Thomas Hanna.

The alleged punching incident occurred about 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 23, in the restaurant’s parking lot, 1314 E. Dorothy Lane.

Kettering police said Sami’s brother, Fahri Troni drove to the restaurant to pick up a family member and was approached by Sami Troni.

The two men had an “exchange of words” before Sami allegedly hit Fahri across the face with his fist, according to Officer Michael Burke.

“Apparently (Fahri) was still seated inside his vehicle,” Burke said.

Fahri Troni then called police.

“He came outside. I had the window open and he said (expletive) and he just hit me,” Fahri Troni said during a recording of his 911 call.

When police arrived, they observed a bruise on the left side of Fahri’s head, near his eye, Burke said.

Sami Troni was arrested and booked into the Kettering City Jail. He remains free on bail.

The municipal court issued a temporary protection order against Sami Troni on Nov. 24.
