I hate how movies have got people to think that you can actually knock people out for an extended period of time. Real knockouts (see boxing videos) only last a few seconds.

According to her affidavit, Vasquez became angry with her boyfriend on Saturday "because of a conversation about another woman."

The two were driving home at the time the argument began, and when they arrived at their destination, Vasquez grabbed a rubber mallet and began attacking her boyfriend until she knocked him out.

Police say she then attempted to cut off his testicles while he was unconscious.

The man awoke and discovered "he had been cut on his scrotum with an unknown sharp weapon," the affidavit says. He called paramedics, who transported him to a nearby hospital.

Officers responded to the hospital, where they met the man, who was covered in bruises. Medical staff told police he had a 'severe' laceration on his scrotum.

Police were able to obtain an arrest affidavit for Vasquez's arrest, which they executed over the weekend.
