Ice Cream Vendor Arrested for Sexual Assault on Child
Date: July 28, 2010
Lakewood police detectives have arrested a man who commonly sold ice cream from a push cart, on a charge of sexual assault on a child. On July 14th Lakewood police responded to investigate a complaint that a 5-year-old female had been inappropriately touched by the man as he sold ice cream to several children in the area of 12th and Wadsworth Blvd. As a result of their investigation, police identified 37-year-old Adolfo Luna-Hernandez (04-17-73), as the suspect.
An arrest warrant for Luna-Hernandez was obtained. Pictures of Luna-Hernandez were furnished to patrol agents in an attempt to locate and arrest him.
On 07-23-10 shortly after 6:00 pm, patrol agents observed Luna-Hernandez in the area of 17th and Harlan St. again selling ice cream. He was taken into custody.
Luna-Hernandez was booked into the Jefferson County Jail and will make an appearance in court at 10:00 on July 28, 2010 to be formally advised of the charge against him.
Due to the nature of the charges and the fact that the victim is a juvenile, further information is very limited. Anyone who feels they may have information that would assist in the investigation and/or regarding Luna-Hernandez is asked to contact Lakewood police detective Jennifer Moore at 303-987-7111.
Attachments: Mug shot of Luna-Hernandez is attached to this release.
