Mohave County Shoplifter, Flees In Truck With Stuck Store Clerk

Jasmin Rey Hernandez, 24 of Covina, California was arrested by Mohave County Sheriff’s Office deputies or felony
Aggravated Assault, and misdemeanor Shoplifting.

On Tuesday November 20, deputies responded to a business in the 4700 block of Highway 95 about a disturbance. Deputies found the victim laying in the parking lot of the business. The victim said that a female subject, later  identified as Hernandez, had attempted to exit the business without paying for merchandise. The victim chased after
Hernandez, who got into her truck, and the victim grabbed onto the side of the truck in an attempt to stop Hernandez from leaving. Hernandez then placed the vehicle in reverse, then accelerated forward, with the victim still holding on. The victim eventually fell off the side of the truck, and received several injuries.

Witnesses on scene confirmed the victim’s story, and she was transferred to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Video surveillance from inside the store was reviewed and the amount of merchandise taken totaled approximately $150.00. On Wednesday at approximately 10 AM, deputies received a call from a neighboring agency that the truck had been located on Boundary Cone Rd. and Hernandez and a male subject had been detained. Hernandez admitted to removing the items from the store, but claimed that she did not know anyone was holding onto her truck.

The male subject was not involved and was released from the scene. All of the stolen items were recovered and Jasmin Rey Hernandez was booked into Mohave County Jail without incident.
