Kentucky Woman Got Tired of Waiting on Her Chicken, so Police Say She Pulled an AR-15 on a KFC Employee

A KFC incident making headlines across Kentucky reportedly began with an ordinary inconvenience before taking a dangerous turn. A Lexington woman is facing a felony charge after authorities said she pointed an AR-15-style rifle at a KFC employee during a confrontation over a delayed drive-through order.

According to WKYT, 33-year-old Nayda Roman allegedly became frustrated while waiting for food at the KFC on Richmond Road in Lexington. The reported confrontation happened on May 11, although Roman was not taken into custody until late July.

An arrest report states that Roman exchanged words with members of the restaurant staff before leaving her position in the drive-through line. Instead of leaving the property entirely, police said she drove around the building and entered the restaurant’s parking lot.

Authorities allege Roman then parked her vehicle, opened the trunk, and removed an AR-15-style rifle. The arrest citation claims she pointed the firearm at an employee in a “threatening manner.” Roman allegedly returned to her vehicle and drove away shortly afterward.
