YAKIMA — A Yakama Nation tribal police officer is scheduled to appear Monday in Yakima County Superior Court following his arrest on a series of charges that occurred while he was on duty in Toppenish.
The officer is identified by county jail officials as Anthony Jesse Hernandez Jr.
Jail records show that Hernandez is being held on charges of assault, kidnapping, harassment, and robbery.
Toppenish police arrested Hernandez early Friday after they were called to Toppenish Community Hospital, where a resident reported a domestic violence assault.
According to a news release from Toppenish police, the victim told police Hernandez forced his way into a house and struck the victim in the face.
Hernandez also is alleged to have threatened to kill another person in the residence and took an undisclosed amount of money from the second person’s wallet.
The police news release did not disclose the location where the crimes occurred. Police also have declined to identify the victims, saying they wanted to protect the victims.
