A woman is behind bars after being caught on camera throwing scalding hot water in her Davie employer's face.
Surveillance video captured the woman, identified as Jondre D. Thomas, a disgruntled employee, burning her boss with boiling water Friday afternoon at a truck stop off State Road 595.
“Right after it sinks in, my face just stared burning, which I thought it was acid at some point, ’cause it just kept sizzling,” manager and victim Claudio Salcedo said in an interview with WSVN News.
Salcedo alleges Thomas was upset about a meeting she had with him and two other bosses about her work when she stormed off. That’s when, Salcedo said, she caught up with him outside and splashed him with the scalding water.
“All I remember is her saying, ‘So you’ve been trying to get rid of me,’ and immediately after, the boiling hot water came to my face,” he said.
The woman ran, but police said she was later arrested at her home nearby.
Thomas has since been terminated from her position. She is facing an aggravated battery charge.
Thomas bonded out of jail Saturday night.
As for Salcedo, he suffered second-degree burns. The scars could be permanent, but his angst is not.
