Multiple law enforcement officials had surrounded a mobile home along Martin Drive off Tates Creek Road in Jessamine County.
Police said the incident began with Winkle and a woman arguing.
When the woman began to leave, police said, Winkle shot toward her twice with a shotgun, then holed up in a mobile home when police responded.
Law enforcement told LEX 18 that the residence was cleared of other people.
Officers were able to enter and take Winkle into custody.
Winkle is being charged with wanton endangerment. Other charges are likely, police said.
