On January 21, a woman was walking in the area of Brand Boulevard and Chevy Chase Drive in the city of Glendale when she was allegedly sexually assaulted by an on-duty Amazon delivery driver.
Glendale police identified the suspect as 24-year-old Fernando Barreto-Hernandez.
In a statement, police said on January 24, only 3 days after the Glendale incident, LAPD detectives arrested Barreto-Hernandez for a similar incident that occurred in Los Angeles in December 2024.
