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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

Attempted first-degree assault
