Had this happened in CVG or LEX, I would have pressed charges accordingly:
KRS 508.060 Wanton endangerment in the first degree.
(1) A person is guilty of wanton endangerment in the first degree when, under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life, he wantonly engages in conduct which creates a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury to another person.
(2) Wanton endangerment in the first degree is a Class D felony.
Effective: January 1, 1975
History: Created 1974 Ky. Acts ch. 406, sec. 70, effective January 1, 1975.
What would likely happen is that they would drop it to Wanton endangerment in the second degree, which is a Class A misdemeanor. But I bet you could make this one stick.
