DACATUR, Ala. – An Alabama woman burned a man’s face with a pot of hot grease when he allegedly broke into her home last Thursday and pulled a gun on her, police said. The intruder was the woman’s ex-boyfriend, according to AL.com.
Officers said they responded to a domestic violence call to find Larondrick Macklin, 31, suffering from burns across his face. An investigation determined Macklin was the “primary aggressor in the altercation” and the woman acted in self-defense, police said.
He reportedly entered the woman’s residence with a firearm before she threw a pot of hot grease at him, the Decatur Police Department said in a statement. As a result, Macklin was taken to a hospital to be treated for his injuries. He was later booked on two felony charges of burglary and domestic violence, court records said. Hence, he is being held on a $300,000 bond.
