A San Benito woman has been arrested for allegedly making false claims about her boyfriend.

San Benito police officers said Evangelina Camilla Perez, 25, of San Benito was taken into custody at approximately 1:45 p.m. on Wednesday, May 15. Perez had a warrant for her arrest issued by the City of San Benito Municipal Court for a false report stemming from an alleged assault reported in April.

According to police, wounds that Perez said were caused by her boyfriend were allegedly self-inflicted.

“Apparently she did it with the intent of having him arrested,” said Detective Rogelio Banda, Jr. of the San Benito Police Department. “They were going through some problems in their relationship, and one of the parties was making threats as far as leaving the other. There was a big dispute among them, and he was arrested for aggravated assault because she scratched herself and told the officers that he had placed a knife against her throat to end the argument.”
