A Kentucky man was arrested for shooting a Wendy's drive-thru employee in the buttocks during a confrontation over cold fries.
Monjah James-Wooten, 25, was charged with two counts of second-degree assault for the Jan. 6 shooting.
Police were called to the Louisville Wendy's around 10:40 PM ET after James-Wooten got into an argument with the drive-thru employee over cold fries, according to the arrest warrant.
He entered the establishment with two other unknown women and fired a shot at the employee.
Louisville Metro Police said the employee fired back at James-Wooten, leading to a shootout.
He in turn fired several bullets, hitting the woman 'in the buttocks'. She was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspect fled the scene before police arrived, but was captured on Wendy's surveillance footage wearing a green Nike jacket.
He was identified based on his previous contact with police, and one of the women with James-Wooten contacted authorities claiming he also shot her during the altercation.

In June, a Florida McDonald's employee was arrested after shooting at a customer following an argument at the drive-through window.
Chassidy Gardner, 22, of Lakeland, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and booked into the Polk County Jail.
The shooting happened just after 1 a.m. at the McDonald's branch on East Memorial Boulevard in Lakeland, east of Tampa.
The case began after a customer “felt his order was incorrect,” Lakeland police said in a statement.
Gardner then got into an argument with the customers at the drive-thru window.
Surveillance footage showed one of the customers reaching through the window and throwing some items on the floor before throwing cups on the floor.
That led to Gardner throwing a drink back at them just as they were leaving.

Two of the customers then got out of their cars and threw their own drinks full of ice back at Gardner.
But Gardner had brought a gun to work and could be seen pacing around the kitchen with the gun in her hand.
Gardner can still be seen on surveillance footage walking out of the fast food restaurant with the gun in her hand.
Surveillance footage showed Gardner walking out of the room, complete with the firearm.
Officers said Gardner then fired the gun at the car as it drove away, with one of the bullets hitting the vehicle.
