(Florence, Ky.) - An arrest has been made following a shooting incident at a fast food restaurant in northern Kentucky.
Florence Police today announced the arrest of Eli Nunez.
The 19-year-old from Union, Kentucky is charged with Assault 1st Degree (Attempt), Wanton Endangerment 1st Degree, and Criminal Mischief 1st Degree.
The charges stem from an incident at the Taco Bell location on U.S. 42 in Florence last Friday evening.

Nunez is currently held in the Boone County Detention Center.
