Former employee pleads guilty to throwing hot grease at another employee.

In an unexpected turn of events, Jordan Alexander Duncan, 25, was found guilty of aggravated battery in Bibb County Superior Court on November 27th. The guilty plea was in relation to an incident that took place at a Popeyes restaurant in Macon, Georgia in November 2021.

According to reports, Duncan had gone to the restaurant to collect his final paycheck when he suddenly grabbed a pot from the fryer and threw the scalding hot grease at Kelvin Early, another employee of the restaurant. Duncan's attorney and his mother testified in court that the suspect had been struggling with mental health issues and substance abuse problems. Despite this, Judge David L. Mincey III sentenced Duncan to three years in prison. Duncan and his mother both expressed a desire for him to receive rehabilitation during his sentence.

The victim of the assault, Kelvin Early, did not appear in court for Duncan's sentencing. However, prosecutors noted that Early was seeking some form of retribution for the incident. In addition to the prison sentence, special conditions were imposed on Duncan, which included staying away from both Early and the Popeyes restaurant.

This case highlights the seriousness of workplace disputes and how they can easily escalate to violence. It is important to address mental health and substance abuse issues to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. As Duncan begins his prison term, the importance of resolving workplace conflicts in a peaceful manner should not be overlooked.
