WANTED IN KING COUNTY —
Police say convicted felon, Ryan Hernandez, had firearms, a knife, and drug pipes inside his vehicle, but no license plates on the outside.
That problem, along with making a right without using his turn signal got him stopped by Renton Police in November.
He tried lying to them about his name, claiming to be from California and not having an ID on him.
Officers ordered him out of his car and spotted a .40 Smith and Weston handgun in plain sight. “They did a search warrant of the car, turned out there was another firearm in the car. There was one right next to the driver’s center console, there was also one underneath the driver’s seat. Both of those came back stolen. So, not only is he not supposed to be in possession of a firearm, he had two of them and both of them were stolen,” said King County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ryan Abbott.
Hernandez was booked into jail, released, and now he has a bench warrant for his arrest for failing to appear in King County court on a charge of unlawful possession of a firearm.
His rap sheet includes convictions for possession of a dangerous weapon, theft, possession of stolen property and DUI.
He’s 44 years old, 5’7” and weighs 140 pounds.
King County Sheriff’s detectives say he’s known to hangout in Renton and Tacoma.
