DAVIE, FLA. (WSVN) - A Davie woman who threw hot water in her boss’ face has been sentenced to serve jail time for the act.
Jondre Thomas was sentenced Wednesday to one year in county jail and four years probation for aggravated battery with great bodily harm.
She threw boiling hot water at her boss’ face at a truck stop off State Road 84 in February 2018.
Thomas apologized to her former boss, Claudio Salcedo, in court on Monday after entering a no contest plea.
“I’m so sorry that I reacted the way I did, and I do ask for your forgiveness. I am sorry for what I did to you. I really am,” Thomas said. “I’d like to apologize for my actions. I’m so very sorry that I hurt him. I know that I hurt him badly, and I feel very ashamed for my actions.”
Surveillance video captured the attack that Salcedo said was prompted by Thomas being upset over a meeting about her work.
“My face just started burning, which I thought that it was acid at some point because it just kept sizzling,” Salcedo said in February 2018.
While leaving court, Salcedo said he was satisfied with the verdict.
“I was never here to judge,” Salcedo said as he left the courtroom. “I forgave her, and hopefully, she never does that again to anyone else.”
