Man arrested after shooting at Texas Roadhouse in Louisville

A man has been taken into custody after a shooting at a Texas Roadhouse Thursday evening in Louisville.

Ronald Winter, 24, was charged with assault (second degree) and booked into the Bullitt County Jail, according to LMPD.

At about 6:15 p.m., Louisville Metro Police Department officers responded to a shooting at Texas Roadhouse, located at 3322 Old Outer Loop.

Officers found a man with a gunshot wound. He was taken to UofL Hospital where officials expect him to survive.

An employee told WHAS11 that Winter had previously eaten at the location without paying. When he tried to leave without paying again on Thursday, the manager confronted him, grabbing his arm.

The manager saw Winter reach for his pocket and attempted to tackle him when he heard a gunshot. He was shot in the shoulder, according to the arrest citation.

Winter then fled the scene in a Ford Ranger. He was found shortly after by Bullitt County Sheriff’s Office at Salt Well Road and Hwy 44 West and taken into custody.

Winter is scheduled to appear in court on June 25.
