A teenager from Smyrna was part of a group of girls who used hot oil as weapons to fight with another group of girls, and she will now be spending several year in jail, according to the Cobb Country DA's office.

The 19-year old Myzele Chantel Armstrong was convicted of aggravated battery and aggravated assault. She was sentenced for 40 years, four of which must be served in jail.

According to the story, Armstrong and her friends had gotten into an argument on Instagram with another group of four girls. Things escalated to a point where one group challenged the other to a physical fight.

The two groups of girls met, but Armstrong's group hadn't come to fight fair.

Patch.com says: "when the outsiders saw Armstrong’s group armed with a baseball bat and cooking pots full of hot oil, they wisely tried to get back in their car and escape. As the girls were trying to close the car door and make their getaway, Armstrong stuck the bat in the door frame and prevented the door from closing, while her co-defendants dumped the hot oil inside the car, said the DA’s Office; one of the girls inside the car needed skin grafts to repair the damage done to her by the hot oil."

"ADA Jaret Usher pointed out that the process of bringing cooking oil to a boil and bringing it to a fight shows that Armstrong and her friends had deliberately planned to hurt the other group of girls."
