Female caught on video tossing cup of scalding coffee on McDonald's manager, who suffers burns
A female was caught on video tossing a cup of scalding coffee on a McDonald's manager in Michigan earlier this week — and the manager suffered burns as a result, MLive reported.
The incident took place Tuesday morning at a McDonald's at 3700 Dixie Highway in Buena Vista Township, the outlet said. Buena Vista Township is a few miles east of Saginaw.
'F**k you, b***h! Catch that hot-a** coffee!'
Buena Vista Township Police Detective Russ Pahssen told MLive that the female manager called 911 saying an angry customer assaulted her.
More from MLive:
The customer had placed an online order and sought a refund for two sandwiches, Pahssen said. Another patron recorded the last two minutes of the interaction at the restaurant’s front counter.
The manager handed the customer a coffee and tried pacifying her, while the customer claimed she had been there for more than an hour, the footage shows. The conversation reaching an impasse, the manager told the customer to have a great day and turned to walk away.
The female customer removed the lid from the coffee cup, threw the contents at the manager, and yelled, “F**k you, bitch! Catch that hot-ass coffee!” as she exited the restaurant, according to video of the encounter without redacted audio.
The video also shows the McDonald's manager screaming after the coffee hits her body.
Pahssen told MLive the manager suffered minor burns; the outlet noted that the coffee burned her back and left arm.
Pahssen shared video of the assault on Facebook and asked the public to help identify the assailant, the outlet said.
“I must have gotten about 100 tips,” Pahssen noted to MLive. “Within about two minutes, we had her identified.”
The following is video of the encounter with redacted audio; the coffee toss takes place toward the end of the clip just after the 1:45 mark:
However, Pahssen said officers weren't able to locate the 48-year-old suspect, MLive reported, adding that police have submitted paperwork to the Saginaw County Prosecutor's Office, requesting she be charged with felonious assault.
Investigators did not name the woman Thursday because she had not been arraigned on any criminal charges, WJRT-TV reported.

University of Michigan's bio-smuggling scandal explodes: More Chinese scholars busted in alleged plot
More Chinese scholars from the University of Michigan have allegedly been tied to a smuggling conspiracy.
The Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party announced Wednesday charges against three UM scholars, bringing the total to seven Chinese nationals connected to the alleged smuggling plot.
'It is part of a broader, coordinated campaign targeting universities across the country, driven by China's efforts to acquire American technology.'
In June, the Department of Justice charged Yunqing Jian, 33, and her boyfriend, 34-year-old Zunyong Liu, with smuggling a fungus into the United States. Officials claimed that the Fusarium graminearum could potentially be used as an agricultural terrorism weapon.
Liu allegedly claimed the reason for smuggling the pathogen was to conduct research at UM's laboratory, where Jian worked.
Chengxuan Han, another UM scholar, was also arrested in June after she allegedly mailed several packages containing "biological material related to roundworms" to UM's laboratory.
Han, 28, was sentenced in September to time served and was expected to return to China.

Three additional Chinese nationals who were working at UM were terminated after the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan filed new charges, claiming the individuals were involved with a biological material smuggling plot, according to the Select Committee's Wednesday press release.
The Detroit News reported that Xu Bai, 28, Fengfan Zhang, 27, and Zhiyong Zhang, 30, faced charges including smuggling biological material into the country and lying to federal agents.
Han allegedly sent one of the packages to Bai's apartment in Ann Arbor. A complaint reviewed by the Detroit News stated that Bai became uncooperative, refusing to speak with investigators.
Han also allegedly sent several packages to Fengfan Zhang and Zhiyong Zhang.
"When asked if he had ever received any packages from Han, Zhiyong Zhang showed multiple signs of nervous behavior, including his right eye twitching only when discussing Han, and he was unable to fully explain whether he did or did not receive any packages," a federal agent wrote.
UM reportedly fired the three scholars after they refused to cooperate with an internal investigation of the lab, operated by life sciences professor Shawn Xu.
"Professor Xu has been cooperative with the University of Michigan's investigation into the laboratory," Xu's lawyer, David Nacht, told the Detroit News. "He has not been informed by any federal official that he is a target of any investigation."
According to Nacht, the lab continues to operate, and Xu remains in good standing with UM.
"Professor Xu has lived in Michigan for decades, and he does basic biological research on worms," Nacht claimed. "Those present no hazards, nor do they have any military or obvious commercial application."

In 2019, Zhiyong Zhang allegedly sent a package to Xu that contained petri dishes with nematodes, or roundworms.
"Professor Xu's laboratory routinely receives roundworms and other biological material through the normal mail and [FedEx] and UPS from a laboratory in Minnesota that produces them," Nacht told the Detroit News.
UM's termination of the three scholars means the Chinese nationals are no longer in compliance with their visa requirements and may be subject to deportation.
"These new charges reveal an organized network of scholars engaged in illegal activity on Michigan's campus," Select Committee on China Chairman Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) stated. "It is part of a broader, coordinated campaign targeting universities across the country, driven by China's efforts to acquire American technology. University leaders should launch internal reviews to safeguard their research from China's adversarial actions. My colleagues and I appreciate the accountability we've seen from Michigan through our oversight efforts, and we will continue to use every tool we have to protect taxpayer-funded research and national security."
Blaze News contacted the Select Committee and the University of Michigan for comment.

'Warfighter' son of a popular Michigan sheriff is now gunning for Congress
The son of a longtime Michigan sheriff has officially tossed his hat in the ring for Congress.
On Thursday, Captain Mike Bouchard, son of Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard, announced that he will be running as a Republican for the 10th District seat in Michigan currently occupied by Rep. John James (R), who is now running for governor.
"My family taught me that service isn’t a slogan; it’s a duty," Captain Bouchard said in a press release. "I’ve worn the uniform of our nation and faced America’s enemies abroad. Now I’m ready to fight for our people here at home — to keep our families safe, our jobs local, and help make our country strong again."
Captain Bouchard, a paratrooper and Bronze Star recipient who just returned home after serving a nine-month tour in Iraq with the Michigan Army National Guard, claims he wants to continue serving his state and his country.
'Michigan built the tools that won wars. Now we’ll rebuild the economy that wins the future.'
"Warfighters don’t quit. We adapt, overcome, and keep moving toward the objective. That’s the mindset I’ll bring to Congress — mission focus, no excuses, and zero tolerance for failure. The people of Michigan deserve a warfighter in Washington who understands the mission and has the backbone to get the job done," his statement continued.
In the press announcement about his candidacy, Captain Bouchard repeatedly referred to President Donald Trump, indicating that he intends to run on a MAGA-type platform. He has already identified public safety, caring for veterans, and the restoration of American manufacturing as his primary issues.
"Michigan built the tools that won wars. Now we’ll rebuild the economy that wins the future. President Trump is putting America First, and our economy will reap the rewards," he said.
Captain Bouchard has long had the support of his father, Sheriff Bouchard, who spent nearly a decade in the Michigan legislature as a Republican before becoming sheriff of the state's wealthiest and second-most populous county in 1999.
The sheriff told Blaze News back in September that his son is an "amazing person" who is "very qualified" to represent Michigan in Washington, D.C. "He feels very strongly about serving this country, and I think the next step in his mind would be to serve in a different capacity where his experience and knowledge could help."
"He's just wanting to make a difference."
Other notable Michiganders besides his father who urged Captain Bouchard to run for the congressional seat include rock legend Ted Nugent; former Michigan Gov. John Engler (R) and his wife; former state Attorney General Bill Schuette; Macomb County Prosecutor Pete Lucido; and Macomb County Treasurer Larry Rocca.

In response to a request for comment about Captain Bouchard, a spokesperson for Rep. James previously told Blaze News, "Given the current dynamics and potential candidates in Michigan's 10th District, John's confident [Republicans] will hold the seat."
While James won the seat in a squeaker in 2022 and then won re-election with relative ease in 2024, the 10th District is by no means a Republican stronghold, spanning most of Macomb County, a blue-collar area often considered a bellwether in presidential elections.
Other Republicans who have expressed interest in running for the 10th Congressional District include state Rep. Joe Aragona and former Oakland County GOP Chairman Rocky Raczkowski, the Detroit News reported in July. Assistant prosecutor Robert Lulgjuraj of Sterling Heights announced his candidacy in August.
The Democrat primary race for the seat is full as well, as former special victims prosecutor Christina Hines, former state Rep. Tim Greimel, attorney Eric Chung, and U.S. Army veteran Alex Hawkins have all announced their candidacy.
