Ice cream shop victim's
family enraged
The Denver Post
Three days after Francis M. Hernandez drove into Patricia Guntharp's
pickup, killing her and two others, Guntharp's family wanted to know
why a man with 16 arrests in five years wasn't already behind bars.
"Our system is messed up. It is mind-blowing. You mean to tell me
that this guy was still out on the street?" asked Richard Allen Gagne,
32, Patricia Guntharp's son.
Hernandez's record includes forgery, assault, theft, fraud and driving
under restraint. He was arrested in a July traffic stop and charged with
resisting police and other offenses.
Immigration officials believe Hernandez is not a U.S. citizen and could
be "deportable," Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman
Carl Rusnok said Sunday.
ICE first became aware of Hernandez, whose Colorado Bureau of
Investigation records show 11 aliases and several places and dates
of birth, after he was arrested Thursday, Rusnok said.
ICE has placed a hold on him, and he will be transferred to federal
custody if he is released from jail.
"Why in the world do they allow somebody to stay on the road when
they could have done something about that?" asked Robert Guntharp,
56, Patricia Guntharp's husband.
