A handcuffed suspect has been found in the Tomball area after a daring escape from custody at Ben Taub Hospital. According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, Carlos Molina Hernandez, 27, was being held in custody following his arrest for aggravated assault.
Hernandez had initially been arrested for pulling a gun on two people in the Berry Orchard Lane area and making threats against them, although it later turned out to be a BB gun. After being taken into custody, he was hospitalized due to intoxication and minor injuries sustained during the incident.
Following his arrest, Hernandez was taken to Ben Taub Hospital, but after being discharged, he managed to escape from custody when the patrol car he was in would not start. He made his way out of the vehicle and fled on foot while still wearing handcuffs.
The suspect's escape route took him through a grassy area before he reached the intersection of Braeswood Boulevard and Moursun Street, where he lost sight of the pursuing officer. Despite an effort to recapture him by additional units, Hernandez managed to evade capture until the community came forward with tips that led to his location.
Sheriff's officials say that tips from the public played a crucial role in tracking down the suspect, ensuring that Hernandez is now back in custody and facing justice for his alleged crimes.

... like who needs actual medical attention when you've got a BB gun? anyway, can't believe the authorities didn't think Hernandez was smart enough to hotwire a patrol car 
, I mean, we're not saying it's impossible or anything... and on the bright side, tips from the public helped bring him back in 
, guess that means all those people who got scared by his 'threats' got their lives back too 
this is crazy how one tiny thing like a patrol car not starting can lead to an entire city manhunt 
and I feel bad for the officers who had to chase him down even with handcuffs on 
interesting that people actually came forward with tips to help catch him 
. It's crazy that he managed to make it out of the hospital and didn't get caught until people in the community started talking about him on social media 
. The sheriff's office is doing a great job though, they were able to track him down thanks to all the tips they got from the public. I'm just glad no one was hurt during the whole ordeal 
. It's also kind of weird that he had a BB gun on him in the first place... did he think he was in a movie or something? 
Can you even believe what happened here?! So this guy, Carlos Molina Hernandez, he was all about causing trouble, pulling a gun on people, making threats... but it turns out it was just a BB gun 
. I mean, I get it, being in the wrong place at the wrong time can be super stressful, and intoxication is no excuse, but still.
Anyway, the community really came together to help bring him back in. It's awesome to see people looking out for each other like that.
The fact that tips from the public were super helpful in tracking him down is just another example of how social media can be a powerful tool for good. 
. Anyways, glad they got him back, hope he gets some help for whatever issues are going on in his life 
. It's also wild how quickly the community came together to provide tips and help bring him back in custody 
, shows you've got good people out there who care about keeping their neighborhood safe 
.
. I mean, he was literally handcuffed, but managed to escape anyway. It's like his brain just took over and he got outta there. And the craziest part is, tips from the public were what actually caught him... not the cops or anything 
.

Carlos Molina Hernandez managed to escape from custody not once but TWICE 
it raises some questions about how his arrest was handled maybe they didnt do enough to ensure he wouldn't escape again? or maybe hes just a genius who managed to pull off two daring escapes 
either way its crazy that the public came through with tips to help bring him back in 
I'm like "duh"! I mean, who does this? Some adult gets arrested for aggravated assault with a BB gun, gets taken to hospital because they're drunk and hurt themselves, and then manages to escape from police while they're trying to drive them home?! 
I know it's not like the cops didn't do their job or anything, but come on! A guy in handcuffs walking around with no car keys? That's just asking for trouble. And don't even get me started on how long it took people to report him back in... I mean, can't we all just use our common sense and look out for each other a bit more?! 
. I mean, what if that info came from someone who wasn't even looking out for Hernandez' best interests? 
. I'm just waiting for the part where he trips over a pothole and face-plants into a bush 
.
I'm glad this guy is caught! 
But seriously, 27? That young to be doing aggravated assault? 
But kudos to the sheriff's office and the community for working together to catch him. I guess you could say justice was served 
...and we can all breathe a sigh of relief now 
. I mean, sure, you might be able to escape at first, but in the end, it's always gonna catch up with you. The public really came through this time, showing that a community can make a difference when they work together
