A Kentucky man wanted for shooting a Wendy’s employee because his fries weren’t hot enough turned himself in last week to face two counts of assault.
Monjah D. James-Wooten was desired in connection with the incident on January 6 where a Wendy’s employee was shot by the Louisiville Metro Police Department. Surrendering on January 17, James-Wooten is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
Authorities reported that the shooting occurred shortly past 10:30 p.m. following a verbal dispute involving James-Wooten, two women accompanying him, and the drive-thru employee. The altercation continued inside the restaurant after James-Wooten and the women entered. Subsequently, James-Wooten and the employee, along with their respective groups, moved outside, where James-Wooten reportedly shot at the employee, according to WDRB.
The employee fired back, prompting James-Wooten to fire several more shots, hitting the employee.
Upon arrival, law enforcement found the suspects had fled the scene, leaving the wounded employee behind. She was later transported to the University of Louisville Hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening.
The shooting was caught on surveillance video, WAVE said.
One of the women who was with James-Wooten told police she had been shot in the exchange of gunfire as well.
