A woman was flown out Monday after deputies say her boyfriend shot her.

The shooting happened somewhere along Whites Branch Road in Manchester around 12:30 p.m. Deputies believe it was a domestic dispute that turned violent.

Lela Mills was flown to the hospital after her boyfriend, Ronald McDowell, shot her in the leg with a revolver.

Police have arrested McDowell and charged him with second-degree assault and domestic violence. He was taken to the Clay County Detention Center.

"Whenever the deputies arrived there they found a female that had been shot once in the leg," said Clay County Sheriff Angela Johnson.

We are told doctors at University of Kentucky Medical Center are examining Mills' injuries, which are not life-threatening.

“What we learned was this dispute had been going on over the weekend. They had not called and reported it or anyone that they tried to resolve the issue between themselves, but it obviously did not happen," said Johnson. "As of right now we do not think her injuries are bad."

McDowell appeared in court Wednesday, April 11. He pleaded not guilty.
