Woman, 24, Charged with Aggravated Assault After Throwing 25 lb. Weight Plate at 'Someone Her Partner was Involved with' By Ingrid Vasquez

A Texas woman has been charged with aggravated assault after throwing a weighted plate at “someone her partner was involved with.”

The incident occurred at a 24 Hour Fitness in Spring, Texas, the Harris County Constable Precinct 4 Office said in a press release.

“Upon arrival, deputies learned that a female suspect assaulted the complainant inside the gym after recognizing the complainant as someone her partner was involved with,” said the press release.

Aralyn Martinez, 24, is alleged to have thrown that weighted plate at the complainant’s head.

A charging document reviewed by PEOPLE alleges that Martinez intentionally and knowingly threatened the victim with “imminent bodily injury by using and exhibiting a deadly weapon, namely, a 25-pound weight plate” on Tuesday, Jan. 6.

A personal bond/bail order reviewed by PEOPLE states that the altercation was caught on cell phone video.

The order alleges that Martinez said, “bitch, I’m going to drop this plate on you” before throwing the plate. KHOU 11 reported that the complainant moved out of the way in time, avoiding injuries.

Precinct 4 Capt. Juan Flores told KHOU 11 that the incident didn’t escalate further because nearby people intervened.

While Martinez left the gym after the confrontation, per KHOU 11, she was arrested on Jan. 7, according to the charging document.

Martinez was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a felony, but was released on a $1000 bond, online records reviewed by PEOPLE show.

According to an amended order for pretrial supervision and bond conditions reviewed by PEOPLE, “facts giving rise to probable cause suggest that alcohol was a factor in the offense.”
