A woman has been charged with assault over claims she hurled a pan of boiling gravy over her husband during an angry argument.

Yolanda Florence Fox, 47, reportedly threw the sauce over her spouse after they began to row while she was cooking at their home in Waseca, Minnesota on May 10.

Her alleged attack left him covered with burns that required emergency treatment at the Mayo Clinic Mankato.

A criminal complaint seen by the Southern Minnesota News alleges that Fox’s husband called 911 after being attacked and told police what had happened.


Officers who attended the scene of the alleged crime found a brown, greasy substance splattered on the carpet and walls of the couple’s apartment.



They also found the frying pan said to have been used in the assault in a hallway outside.

Fox was charged with third-degree felony assault and misdemeanor domestic assault at Waseca County Court on Monday.
