Salvador Hernandez

Less-than-lethal force

Hernandez, delusional, told patrons at El Rinconsito Lounge that he was being pursued by people who wanted to kill him. Witnesses took Hernandez out of the bar and called authorities. Hernandez crawled under a other and said that the people had followed him there. Paramedics tried and failed to render medical aid. Officer Jose Luis Menendez responded and handcuffed Hernandez to make him easier to handle. Hernandez passed out.
