Late Sunday night, Hernandez’s family stopped at the Denny’s restaurant on Crosby Freeway near Sheldon. After celebrating his beloved Chivas soccer team’s victory, Hernandez was drunk, his wife said. She insisted he have coffee.
Instead, surveillance cameras showed Hernandez walking outside with his wife trying to stop him. She said her husband urinated near their vehicle.
Another man, who was identified Friday morning by the sheriff as 48-year-old (first name not given) Thompson and whose wife is a sheriff deputy, was outside with his kids and confronted Hernandez about his behavior. Video showed the two men scuffling.
People ran outside while Hernandez’s wife and 3-year-old daughter watched and screamed.
“She was crying and telling (the man beating Hernandez) stop and he didn’t even stop,” Hernandez’s wife said. “I told him please stop. Don’t do that to him. He’s drunk. He wasn’t in any position to fight. But, he didn’t have any compassion. He was really angry.”
Hernandez’s wife claims deputies took her cell phone then led her away for interviews. Nearly three days later, her husband was still in the intensive care unit at LBJ Hospital before he was eventually taken off life support.
Meanwhile, the report given to the family called the man who beat Hernandez the victim.
In a statement released earlier this week, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office told KHOU 11 News the matter is under investigation.
The Hernandez family, though, wonders if they will get justice given the other man’s connections.
“They feel that they can get it covered up because they are cops,” Hernandez’s wife said.
An eyewitness who spoke with KHOU-11 on Thursday on the condition of anonymity told us Hernandez was drunk and defenseless as he was beaten by the off-duty deputy’s husband.
The eyewitness contradicts a statement from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office which states the off-duty deputy assisted in restraining Hernandez and then administered CPR when she noticed he was not breathing.
“Even after I told him ‘stop, stop’ and other people were screaming he wouldn’t do it,” the eyewitness said. “Even after his wife came he didn’t do it. “His wife didn’t do anything, because I went in to call the police she was already there on the side and I didn’t see her do anything, I didn’t hear tell him stop. I didn’t hear her tell him anything. She just was watching.”
The eyewitness tells KHOU 11 Hernandez was held in a chokehold by the deputy’s husband for more than 10 minutes and was not breathing.
