GROVELAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A Michigan teen is accused of throwing lye at her father, leaving him unconscious with burns on his body, authorities said.
Megan Joyce Imirowicz, 18, of Groveland Township, was arraigned Tuesday in district court on two charges, WDIV reported. Imirowicz was charged with one felony count of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and a misdemeanor domestic violence charge, the television station reported.
Imirowicz posted bail of $75,000, The Oakland Press reported.
According to the Michigan State Police, Imirowicz threw a mixture of lye drain cleaner and water on her father, WDIV reported. The water caused a chemical reaction and led to burns during the Oct. 1 incident in Groveland Township, according to the television station.
Imirowicz then left her father unconscious and alone at the home, where he remained until a neighbor discovered him, WDIV reported.
According to authorities, the man arrived at an area hospital suffering from chemical burns to his head, torso and extremities, according to the Press.
Authorities investigating the case found lye powder on the couch where the man was found, according to WDIV.
Imirowicz was arrested by Michigan State Police after troopers spoke with her father at the hospital in Grand Blanc, the Press reported.
Imirowicz’s next court appearance is Tuesday for a probable cause conference, according to the newspaper.
