County records show she was arrested as far back as May 2017 on heroin and drug paraphernalia possession charges.
Wake County, where Cary is located, has below-average levels of violent crime, according to Sperling’s Best Places. Cary is a suburb of North Carolina’s capital city Raleigh.
Martinez’s crime is not the only recent weird sword crime. A man who allegedly beheaded his girlfriend with a samurai sword was found dead in Feather River in Yuba City, California, in April, according to law enforcement.
