A Georgia woman found herself in hot water after she intentionally burned her boyfriend with grease, police in the Peach State say.

Olympia Denise Laster, 43, stands accused of one count of aggravated battery with family violence, according to a press release issued by the LaGrange Police Department.

The incident occurred a little after 5 p.m. Tuesday at the Stay Lodge motel on Whitesville Street in the medium-sized town located roughly 65 miles southwest of Atlanta.

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

Inside, investigators determined that, during a dispute of some kind, the “live-in girlfriend” of the victim poured a “pot of hot chicken grease” on his upper body while he sat 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.
