A Clarendon businessman and former city council member is out on bail this week, facing a charge of assaulting a 13-year-old girl.
Donley County Sheriff Butch Blackburn said Jesus Hernandez was arrested Monday, October 2, and charged with Indecent Assault, a Class A Misdemeanor.
Blackburn said the alleged assault occurred on September 23, and Hernandez was arrested following an investigation into the report.
Hernandez turned himself in, and Justice of the Peace Sarah Hatley arraigned him October 2 and set his bond at $5,000. He was released on bail the same day.
Hernandez has been in the local restaurant business for about 26 years. That business has been closed for more than two weeks now with no signs of reopening. Hernandez also served as a Clarendon city alderman from 2011 to 2013.
