Wendy’s Employee Shot in Buttocks Over Cold Fries

When a Kentucky man reportedly confronted a woman working at the window of a fast-food restaurant about cold french fries, he allegedly got into an altercation with the employee that resulted in a shootout between both parties.

On the evening of January 6, an employee at a Wendy’s in Louisville was working at the drive thru when a man with two women riding as passengers pulled up to the window. It was reported that when they received their food, they became upset and yelled at the employee because the french fries were cold. The situation escalated, and the man parked the car. The trio reportedly headed into the restaurant to confront the employee face to face.

According to reports, the man pulled out a loaded gun and pulled the trigger. In response, the employee reportedly produced a gun she was carrying and fired a shot, and the man discharged his weapon multiple times. The woman was injured when a bullet hit her in the buttocks, and it was reported that the man and his passengers, one of whom was also shot, left the premises.

The authorities were notified, and the Louisville Metro Police Department began investigating the incident. When they arrived, the employee was still at the restaurant, and she was transported to the University of Louisville Hospital for treatment.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department activated a warrant for the suspect’s arrest, and on January 17, the man turned himself in. He was arrested and booked into the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections on suspicion of two felony counts of second-degree assault. According to records, he is currently being held in lieu of a $50,000 bond.
