PICO RIVERA - The denial of a wedding proposal prompted a scorned lover to try to run over his would-be fiancee Wednesday at a Pico Rivera hamburger stand.

Francisco Hernandez, 22, of Whittier was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the incident, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Bob Smith said.

He proposed to a woman about 2:25 p.m. near the Burger Stop on Slauson Avenue, just west of Passons Boulevard, officials said.

The woman did not accept, at which point Hernandez allegedly tried to run her over with his car, Smith said.

Initial reports from the field indicated the car, which left the scene following the alleged attack, had the words, "Will you marry me?" painted on the back.

The woman was not struck by the car, which sustained two flattened tires during the incident, officials said.

Officials found the car, along with Hernandez, about 4 p.m. in Whittier and arrested him without further incident, Smith said.

A man was arrested after allegedly attempting to hit his former girlfriend with his car in Pico Rivera Wednesday afternoon.

Deputies went to the 9300 block of Slauson Avenue at about 2:20PM to handle an assault with a deadly weapon call. The victim told deputies that she was walking on the sidewalk in front of "Burger Stop" when her boyfriend, 22-year old Francisco Hernandez, attempted to run her over with his vehicle. The car driven by Hernandez narrowly missed the victim as it jumped the curb, drove over the sidewalk, through the bushes, and into the parking lot of the restaurant.

The suspect fled the scene in his vehicle despite the fact that it had sustained two flat tires. His abandoned vehicle was located a short time later after a witness notified deputies of its location. Pico Rivera Sheriff's Station deputies located Hernandez a short distance away from his vehicle, and he was arrested without incident.
"Fortunately, the victim was not hit by the car or injured," said Captain Mike Parker, Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau. She was provided victim assistance referral and restraining order information by deputies.

The suspect and victim have children together. Preliminary investigation indicates the motive for the assault was that the victim had turned down Hernandez' marriage proposal.

Hernandez was booked for assault with a deadly weapon (vehicle) at the Pico Rivera Sheriff's Station, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. His bail is set at $30,000.00; Sunday, November 14, 2010 10:29:00 PM

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
