An Alabama woman hurled a pot of hot grease at a man in what police say was a domestic incident at her home, authorities said.

Larondrick Macklin, 51, entered the woman’s Decatur residence Thursday with a firearm, according to the Decatur Police Department.

Police said Macklin was the “primary aggressor” in the altercation — and she defended herself by splashing the hot grease on him. He suffered burns to his face.

It’s unclear what the relationship is between Macklin and the victim.

“Since the situation was of a domestic nature, we are not at liberty to discuss the relationship between the victim and the suspect at this time,” a police spokeswoman told USA Today.

Macklin was booked into Morgan County Jail on $300,000 bond after receiving medical treatment. He was charged with domestic violence and burglary.
