A 43-year-old man faces multiple charges after allegedly brandishing a gun inside a Burger King Friday night in Franklin.
Officers with the Franklin Police Department were dispatched around 11:56 p.m. to the Burger King on Nashville Road following reports of an armed man fighting another customer.
Investigators said Jason M. Daugherty had entered the restaurant and engaged in a verbal confrontation with another man before going out to his vehicle to retrieve a handgun.
According to police, Daugherty reentered the business brandishing the firearm, but the victim fought him off, causing Daugherty to lose control of both the gun and a pocket knife.
Responding officers detained both men, who were still actively fighting when police arrived. No severe injuries were reported.
Daugherty was arrested and charged with:
Attempted first-degree assault
First-degree wanton endangerment
Menacing
Second-degree disorderly conduct
Third-degree terroristic threatening
Possession of marijuana
He was lodged in the Simpson County Detention Center under a $10,000 cash bond.
The Franklin Police department was assisted by The Simpson County Sheriff’s Office and Kentucky State Police at the scene.
