Officers were called to the extended stay motel about a domestic dispute, according to law enforcement.

Investigators concluded that during an argument, the victim’s “live-in girlfriend” poured a “pot of hot chicken grease” over his upper body while he was seated in a chair near the kitchen.

The victim has been identified as a 46-year-old man. He suffered “severe burns” to his head, neck, back, and shoulders, police say. He is currently recuperating at an “Atlanta area hospital capable of burn treatment,” according to the press release.

The specific motive for the alleged grease attack has not been floated by law enforcement. Additionally, it is not clear if the dispute in question was physical or merely an argument.

Details about the incident and what led up to the dispute are also scarce. Law&Crime reached out to the LaGrange Police Department for additional details and were provided the press release while a records request is processing.

The investigation is said to be ongoing and has since been turned over to the police department’s criminal investigation division, police said.
