Paducah man facing gun charges after second arrest in week

A Paducah man arrested Saturday for the second time in a week will face additional gun-related charges.

Witnesses reported a fight between a group of men in a parking lot, and a possible gunshot.

Officers located a vehicle matching the provided description off Parisa Drive, and identified the driver as 22-year-old Tyreck Winkler.

Authorities said it was determined Winkler had threatened someone with a handgun prior to the fight, which led to Winkler firing the gun.

Winkler was charged with two counts of wanton endangerment and possession of marijuana.

He was last arrested on April 29 after police allegedly found a handgun in the waistband of his pants, that was previously reported stolen.
