Martinez is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a felony, the station said, adding that she has since been released on a $1,000 bond.
As part of her bond conditions, Martinez was ordered to stay at least 200 feet away from the home and workplace of the alleged victim, KHOU said.
Authorities added to the station that Martinez and the other woman did not know each other personally before the incident.
“Not very often with weights and not very often at a gym,” Flores remarked to KHOU regarding the unusual case.
“We do know a 25-pound weight, or any weight … can be a deadly weapon considering where you hit the person.”
Commenters under KHOU’s video report about the incident were incredulous over the bond amount — among other issues:
- “That bond is ridiculously low,” one commenter said. “These courts don’t hold very much respect for human life. She tried to kill someone.”
- “Hold up, she could’ve killed her, and she got a $1,000 bond?” another commenter inquired.
- “Only $1,000 to repeat it successfully next time,” another commenter observed. “How nice, always for the criminals.”
- “There’s an epidemic of people [who] can’t control their emotions,” another commenter noted.
- “Goofy. Now the boyfriend & the victim are enjoying date night while she’s in lockup,” another commenter wrote. “Do better.”
