Jiles and the man reportedly got into an argument prior to the stabbing, but the dispute was "non-domestic" in nature, according to police. Jiles is charged with aggravated assault and theft of property, as a stolen 2017 Jeep Renegade was found at Jiles' home when she was arrested on the assault charge, detectives said.

In January of 2018, Jiles was accused of cutting a man in the face and pepper-spraying his wife. In 2014, Jiles she was arrested for slicing her girlfriend's arm while they were driving.
