BRADENTON - Authorities say a woman has been arrested after pouring scalding hot water on her husband's groin. Manatee County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested Maverna T. Turay, 52, on Wednesday on a charge of aggravated battery with great bodily harm.

The woman was being held at the Manatee County jail on $7,500 bond.

Authorities say the woman boiled the water and threw it on Ealy Jones Jr.'s groin while he slept. He sustained second-degree burns and ran out of the house screaming while a relative called 911, according to a sheriff's report.

The man was flown to a Tampa hospital for treatment. The report said the woman did not give a reason for pouring the water on her husband, but said she had been drinking alcohol.
