Texas Woman Charged After 25-Pound Weight Thrown at Gym Rival, Police Say

The court tied her release to strict conditions after citing alcohol as a factor.

Overview

  • Deputies say 24-year-old Aralyn Martinez threw a weighted plate toward a woman's head at a 24 Hour Fitness in Spring on Jan. 7.
  • She was arrested the next day and charged with one count of aggravated assault, according to Harris County records.
  • Bond was set at $1,000, which she posted, and a judge barred her from consuming alcohol, including products containing alcohol.

  • A court appearance is scheduled for Jan. 22, and authorities say the dispute stemmed from a perceived relationship with Martinez’s partner.
