Two girls under the age of 13 were allegedly sexually molested and discovered by police.
According to FOX 17, the sisters say the man threatened to "kill them" if they tried to scream or escape. The girls claim he used his hands to assault them while exposing himself sexually.
Investigators were able to identify a car and suspect through video surveillance footage and interviews. They tracked the suspect down in Indiana.
"I don't believe that this person will follow any of the rules of bond if he doesn't get a bond," the prosecutor told FOX 17. He went on to explain that Hernandez-Ruiz's permit only permited him to be in the U.S. from late August throught he end of the summer to work agricultural jobs. According to the prosecutor, the 25-year-old had not been following those rules for several years by staying in the county.
“Thanks to the meticulous planning, execution, and collaboration between multiple law enforcement partners, a dangerous predator is in custody,” said Jason P. Undersheriff Bingaman.
