A west Macon man suffered burns to his face and body Monday night when a woman he described as a neighbor and former girlfriend allegedly threw a pot of hot grease on him, Bibb County sheriff’s deputies said.
The man, 58-year-old Darryl Lee Releford, was said to have suffered second-degree burns on his lip, eyebrow and torso, deputies noted in a report of the 8 p.m. incident at Windy Hill Manor Apartments, 4151 Log Cabin Drive.
Releford told the cop who answered a call about a domestic dispute that his ex-girlfriend, Joyce Ann Styles, had “told him to come to her apartment,” the officer’s write-up said.
“When he got to her apartment, she threw a pot of hot grease on him,” according to the report. “He stated that (the) suspect was mad at him for talking to another female.”
