'A San Benito woman is facing new criminal charges after police learned she lied during a domestic disturbance and faked her injuries to get her boyfriend in trouble.

San Benito police arrested 25-year-old Evangelina Perez on a false report to a police officer charge last week.

Police officers were originally called to a domestic disturbance on Chapman Street back on April 16th.

Investigators arrested both Perez and her 47-year-old boyfriend Salvador Mercado, Jr. for the incident.

Perez claimed Mercado had scratched her while Mercado claimed Perez threatened to have drug cartel members kill him.'
