According to the arrest documents released by the media, Roman ordered food at the KFC drive-thru on Richmond Road in Lexington this past May. However, when her food continued to be delayed, she started arguing with the employee.

An agitated Roman then drove her car around the building to the parking lot. She took a gun out of the trunk, pointed it threateningly at the employee, and then left the scene, according to the investigation.

Police identified the suspect's vehicle by reviewing security footage, including closed-circuit television (CCTV) inside the store, and learned that the vehicle had previously been stopped during a traffic enforcement incident. Afterwards, police were able to identify Roman by comparing body camera footage and a photo statement from the victimized employee.

Roman has been charged with reckless endangerment of another person.
