Two people have been arrested in connection to shots fired on Thursday night on Monterey Court in Lexington, according to arrest citations.

One citation notes that Michael Coffey was "a passenger in the victim's moving vehicle when he intentionally discharged a firearm causing damage to the driver side window."

Coffey is charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, first-degree wanton endangerment- discharging a firearm, and fourth-degree assault- dating violence.

Another arrest citation states that Chiara Johnson was also arrested after she "ran over Coffey with her vehicle," causing him to "suffer multiple injuries."

According to Johnson's citation, when officers arrived, she "backed out of the driveway and traveled at a high rate of speed towards the officers, only stopping several feet from officers."

Johnson is charged with second-degree assault- domestic violence and second-degree wanton endangerment of a police officer.

Both are booked in the Fayette County Detention Center.
