#new A 20-year-old McDonald’s closing shift manager suffered second-degree burns after a coworker threw hot oil on him. Now California officials say they are looking for a 'missing person' instead of a dangerous suspect. #cali Jacob Smith suffered burns on over 22% of his body, including severe burns to his face, neck, shoulder, upper torso, right arm, and left hand and fingertips, after his coworker threw hot oil on him without warning during a late shift. Smith was in the office counting money at closing time with one other employee washing dishes nearby. Smith saw movement to his left, turned quickly, and was struck on the right side of his upper body and face by hot oil allegedly thrown by 23-year-old coworker Jalani Bluett. Smith initially believed he had been hit with hot coffee. He tore off his burning shirt, locked the restaurant doors, and called his manager to apologize for not finishing cleaning. Bluett took off before officers arrived. Police identified Bluett as the suspect and issued a warrant for his arrest. The Sutter County Sheriff’s Office posted on social media describing him as an at-risk missing person “due to a diagnosis and vulnerabilities,” shared his photo and description and asked the public to help locate him and bring him “home safely.” They did not mention the assault, the fact that he was being charged with three felonies or that he may be dangerous. The hot oil caused deep tissue damage and doctors are considering skin graft surgery on his back and neck. #mcdonalds Wound care is extremely painful. His mother, Amber Smith, reported he experiences the most severe pain in his fingertips because he raised his left arm to shield his face. He is still hospitalized and is trying to stay positive. “He has a lot of pain when they are doing wound care.” “Because it was oil it can cause much more deep damage.” “He’s struggling with trying to understand the why.” She described her son as “God-fearing” and generous: “If he had $5 in his wallet and you needed it, he would just give it to you.” #oil His mother started a GoFundMe to help cover medical bills not fully covered by insurance, ongoing treatments, lost wages, rent, utilities, groceries, transportation, and daily living costs while he recovers and cannot work. Bluett is being charged with: 🔷️Assault with a deadly weapon or instrument other than a firearm, 🔷️Mayhem, and 🔷️Battery with serious bodily injury inflicted. Bluett pleaded not guilty. #ChristinaAguayoNews
