Larry Hernandez Posts $200,000 Bail On Kidnapping & Assault Case

Larry Hernandez has posted a $200,000 bail under his alleged kidnapping and assault case.

The Mexican singer arrived at the Newberry County Detention Center in South Carolina on Friday at 6:40 AM after being extradited from California, Latin Times reported. At about 11 AM that same day, a judge ordered that Hernandez be released under the cash bond, which allows him to be free until a probable cause hearing set for Dec. 31, Billboard wrote.

The kidnapping, assault, and assault with battery charges originated from an alleged incident in Newberry, South Carolina. The 38-year-old performed at a skating rink in the city on Aug. 16. According to La Opinion, the "Larrymania" star was angry over not being paid the promised amount for his performance.

Hernandez's victims told police that they paid $14,000 to the reality star, but he demanded a $30,000 payment and said that he will hold one of them until the other one comes back and pays him the desired price, WLTX reported.

After the other victim left, Hernandez and two other men reportedly "wrapped the victim in clear plastic and began hitting him, then threw him into a brick wall," WLTX added. They also dragged the man inside their tour bus and continued on beating him up. Eventually, the other man went back and paid the remaining sum.

Jose Andrade, the concert promoter Hernandez allegedly kidnapped and beaten, said in an interview with Telemundo translated by Fox News Latino that the narco-corrido singer threatened his life many times before he escaped.

Los Angeles Airport Police public information officer Robert Pedregon said that Hernandez was arrested at Ontario Airport outside Los Angeles on Sept. 25 on a fugitive warrant, Billboard reported. Denver authorities informed Los Angeles Airport police that Hernandez booked a flight from Ontario to Denver.

"When Hernandez arrived at the airport to catch his flight, he was detained. Because he was a fugitive, he was held without bail, which is the case for anyone with a fugitive warrant who has crossed state lines, regardless of the charges," Billboard wrote.

On Sept. 30, Hernandez stood before a judge in the California courtroom and willingly agreed to be extradited to South Carolina. CNN wrote that the SC judge ordered Hernandez to surrender his passport. Latin Times added that he can go back home to California but once he's there, he has to report his arrival to local authorities and work together with the ongoing investigation.

According to Univision, Hernandez is also permitted to preliminary hearings before his next court date, and if the jury decided that there is insufficient evidence to hold up the charges, the case could be dismissed.
