She then left after realizing what she had done, police said, and the victim called police and was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital.
Officers later found Jimenez sleeping in her car and took her into custody. She allegedly told police her boyfriend's injuries were self-inflicted.
Jimenez appeared in bond court Monday, where a judge found probable cause and ordered her to stay away from her boyfriend. Her bond was set at $7,500 and she was granted house arrest and appointed a public defender.
