Hernandez attended his first court hearing today after his arrest on September 25, at the Ontario, California airport.   He was transferred from the Rancho Cucamonga jail to the city of San Bernardino for his 8:30 hearing in Department 17.

After Hernandez had booked his flight, police in Denver notified airport police in Southern California that Hernandez, who had a warrant for his arrest, was boarding a Southwest flight in Ontario for a flight to Denver.

Univision is reporting that his bank accounts have been frozen, which may have precipitated his wife to place various real estate properties on the market, this after Hernandez transferred the properties in her name.

The alleged crime

The concert promoter told the Newberry police his story and about the crime Hernandez had committed against him. According to reports, the kidnap and beating took place at a skating rink after the concert. Allegedly, Hernandez had the man “wrapped in clear plastic wrap and beaten.” Hernandez was not alone, however. The concert promoter said that the singer had an accomplice help him. When the man identified Larry as one of the perpetrators, the case was given to the 8th Solicitor’s Circuit by the Newberry Police Department. Hernandez was charged with kidnapping and third-degree assault and battery, along with a man named Jesus Ivan Solis, who was identified as his associate in the violent attack.

Hernandez is also wanted by Mexico.
