S.A. worker mistakenly jailed
By Susan Carroll - Express-News
Authorities recently detained the wrong man on a sexual assault warrant, arresting a San Antonio construction worker with the common name of Jose Hernandez — despite an apparent 6-inch height difference with the actual suspect, records show.
Jose Gabriel Hernandez, who stands 6 feet 1 inches and weighs 230 pounds, was arrested at his home Oct. 22 by Bexar County sheriff's deputies, who had a warrant out of Harris County for another Jose Hernandez with the same date of birth. But the wanted man stood only 5 feet 7 and weighed about 190 pounds, according to court records.
“It's pretty obvious it's not me,” said Hernandez, 49.
