A jealous woman was arrested after she allegedly launched a 25-pound weight at a romantic rival’s head, according to police.
Aralyn Martinez, 24, allegedly recognized “the complainant as someone her partner was involved with” at a 24 Hour Fitness outside Spring, Texas, Jan. 7 and “threw a weighted plate toward the complainant’s head, attempting to cause injury,” according to a release from the Harris County Constable Precinct 4 Office.
“B—-, I’m going to drop this 25-pound weight plate on you,” she yelled, according to charging documents obtained by KHOU 11.

Cellphone video reviewed by deputies reportedly shows Martinez threatening to drop the weight on the woman before throwing it toward her head. The woman was able to move out of the way just in time, avoiding serious injury, the outlet reported.
“Not very often with weights and not very often at a gym,” Precinct 4 Capt. Juan Flores told the local outlet. “We do know a 25-pound weight, or any weight, can be a deadly weapon depending on where you hit the person.”
Flores said people nearby intervened and were able to calm the situation before it escalated further.
