A Texas man found himself in jail last week after he poured scalding hot soup on his elderly girlfriend. Alexander Alton McDavid, 35, was taken into custody for assaulting his 67-year-old girlfriend. McDavid claimed that his partner was simply talking too much, so he dumped the hot soup on her, which caused third-degree burns on her body.
Alexander Alton McDavid of Waco, Texas is now facing charges for his actions, including injury to the elderly, assault with bodily injury, continuous violence against family, terror threat of family and resisting arrest. He also has a previous conviction, per Law and Crime.
According to reports, McDavid got angry at his girlfriend for talking too much. At the time of the altercation, the victim was heating soup in the microwave when McDavid swiped at the plate and caused the soup to spill on her.
