Louisville Man Arrested for Stalking and Tracking Ex-Girlfriend, Alleged Paintball Gun Attack on Vehicle Windshield

A Louisville man, identified by WAVE as Moore, was arrested on allegations that he stalked and tracked his ex-girlfriend and fired a paintball gun at a vehicle windshield, according to a report from WAVE published August 7, 2026. The arrest adds to a growing list of Kentucky cases where authorities have focused on conduct tied to harassment and threats to public safety.

WAVE reported that investigators believed Moore engaged in stalking and tracking behavior toward his former girlfriend. The reporting also said the alleged attack involved his shooting paintballs at a windshield, an allegation authorities treated as potentially dangerous because of the risk to the driver or passengers.

The report states that Moore is currently being held in Louisville Metro Corrections. At the time of WAVE’s publication, the custody status indicated the matter had moved into the criminal process, with the defendant in local detention pending further court proceedings.

Because the WAVE report summarized the arrest without detailing charging documents, bond terms, or specific dates of the alleged incidents, readers will not have full specifics on the alleged timeline or the exact counts and statutory charges from the information provided here. Additional details are typically handled through charging records and subsequent court filings.

As the case proceeds, the allegations will be subject to review by prosecutors and the courts, including any hearings related to detention status or protective orders, if sought. The next steps in the process generally include formal charges, arraignment, and any motions that could address evidence, bail, or conditions of release, depending on what is filed in court.
