This is not the first time Hernandez has been in Hopkins County Jail. On April 12, 2023 Sulphur Springs Police responded to the Sulphur Springs Municipal Court to pick up Cashius Antonio Hernandez. He was transported to jail on a third no driver’s license charge, following another vehicle too closely and speeding charges.
According to his facebook profile, Hernandez is a father of at least three children. It is tragic that this family man is involved in drug dealing and now may face significant jail time.
