It has been reported that Manuel Hernandez-Hernandez, 28, was only freed from prison one day before the event.
A guy who is thought to be one of four men who reportedly dragged a lady to the ground, tied her up, threatened to chop off her fingers, and then fled with more than $75,000 worth of cash and other goods from her house has been taken into custody by police in the Dallas Metroplex.
An arrest document states that Manuel Hernandez-Hernandez, 28, was taken into custody in Colleyville on Monday and is now detained at the Dallas County Jail on an immigration hold.
Hernandez-Hernandez had been detained and released in Colleyville 10 days earlier, but the arrest report didn’t say what those charges were.

According to the arrest document, on September 21, a woman in Dallas pulled into her driveway. When she got out of her car, four unidentified guys approached her. It says she was brought to the ground at gunpoint, dragged into her house, and finally restrained with rags in her bedroom.She said to the authorities that the men threatened to cut off her fingers if she didn’t tell them where her safe was, spoke Spanish, and spoke with her using Google Translate.
According to the documents, the males made off with many coins from a wooden box, the woman’s phone, a Gucci purse, and $75,000 in cash.
She was allegedly led to a restroom by the males, who then instructed her to wait ten minutes or more before moving. She managed to get there for a few minutes before heading to the neighbor’s house to phone the police.
According to the affidavit, the woman refused to be taken to a hospital for observational care and was still wearing parts of the items.
According to investigators, Hernandez-Hernandez’s fingerprints were found on the wooden box that held the money after the woman’s home was broken into.
When the woman saw a list of guys, she informed the police she couldn’t recall their faces.
A few days later, police discovered video evidence that appeared to capture two unidentified suspects and a potential suspect’s car approaching the woman’s garage at around the same time as the alleged event.
Social media claims following the event said the guys were Venezuelan members of the Tren de Aragua gang, however there is currently no proof to back up that theory.
“There is no evidence at this time to indicate that Hernandez-Hernandez is a member of the Tren de Aragua gang from Venezuela,” the Dallas Police Department responded in a response. “This remains an active investigation.”
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has targeted Tren de Aragua, listing the gang as a foreign terrorist group.
