A woman defended herself from an armed burglar by throwing hot grease on him last Thursday in Decatur, Alabama, police said.
Officers responding to a domestic dispute report at Wimberley Drive found Larondrick Macklin suffering from burns to his face, according to police.
He was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
A preliminary investigation suggests that Macklin had entered the victim’s home with a firearm, so she defended herself by throwing a pot containing hot grease on him, police said.
Macklin was transported to Morgan County Jail after receiving medical attention.
He faces burglary and domestic violence charges.
