Ghost Guns, Alcohol & Another Suspension! 

September 5, 2025 – Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office officials report that for the FOURTH TIME Jose L. Hernandez, 24, of San Jose was driving on a suspended license for DUI - while still on court probation.

Last Thursday night, Deputy Diaz stopped him in a black Mercedes on N. De Anza Blvd. and McClellan Road in City of Cupertino for expired registration.

But wait, there’s more!

Inside the car deputies discovered:

TWO ghost guns - one of them loaded

An open container of alcohol

And a whole list of reasons to visit the Main Jail.

Hernandez was arrested and booked on charges including:

• Carrying a loaded firearm
• Possessing an unserialized firearm
• Manufacturing a firearm
• Driving on a suspended license
• Having an open alcoholic container in a vehicle

Thanks to Deputy Diaz’s sharp instincts and proactive policing, two illegal firearms are off our streets, and one repeat offender is back in custody.
