posted (August 8, 2012)
Tonight, police continue to search for Jorge Humberto Hernandez in relation to a chopping incident in Independence.

The victim, Aurelio Menjivar, told police that at around 9 a.m. on Monday, he invited Hernandez to his office at the Big Creek Port to settle a dispute that they had on Saturday.

According to Menjivar - who is the chief mechanic - Hernandez got annoyed, pulled at machete, and chopped him twice on his right hand, 3 times on his left hand, once to the back of his head, and once more on his right cheek.

Hernandez then jumped into the company's white Mitsubishi pick-up and drove off.

Today at around 11 today, investigators visited the road off the Southern Higway, which leads the TEXMAR Shrimp Farm, where they found that stolen vehicle.

Hernandez is still at large and reports say he has absconded to Guatemala where he is from originally.
