A Vicksburg teen has returned home from a Georgia burn unit after a five-day stay for second- and third-degree burns, his grandmother said.

Micah Andrews, 16, 201 Springridge Drive, was treated after being burned on his upper body with hot grease during a dispute over a television. His grandmother, Theresa Andrews, with whom Micah lives, said he came home from Joseph B. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Ga., Friday.

Fadell Wilson, 46, who lived at the home with the Andrewses, was charged with aggravated assault of a teen and mayhem, Vicksburg Police Lt. Bobby Stewart said. Wilson’s case is expected to be heard by the October term of the Warren County grand jury.
