When police spotted the suspect's vehicle, he refused to stop. The car crashed into a home on Ray Drive, and Hernandez bailed on foot.

He was driving a vehicle that was stolen from Spohn Hospital, where he was a patient earlier in the day. He was arrested and is facing several charges, including evading arrest.
