A McDonald’s manager in Yuba City was taken to hospital with severe burns after a co-worker allegedly threw hot oil on him. Jacob Smith, 20, suffered third-degree burns on his face, neck, hands, and shoulders. He now receives special treatment at UC Davis Medical Center.
The incident occurred on May 30 when Jacob’s co-worker, 23-year-old Jalani Bluett, is accused of attacking him after their shift. After the attack, Bluett went missing but was found and arrested a few days later.
Jacob’s mother, Amber Smith, shared that her son works hard and is engaged to be married. She said he is facing a long recovery but remains positive despite the pain. She highlighted her son’s good spirit during this difficult time.
The family has received support from the community, which means a lot to them. To help with medical costs, they started a GoFundMe campaign. Jacob is expected to have more surgeries next week, including a skin graft, to help with his recovery.
Bluett is now in Sutter County Jail and faces a serious charge of battery for causing Jacob’s injuries.
