SAN ANTONIO — A 42-year-old substitute teacher accused of assaulting two students in a San Antonio-area school is back in custody for similar allegations at another campus.
Schertz police officials said Yorllin Hernandez was arrested Wednesday and faces charges of injury to a child stemming from an incident at Rose Garden Elementary. That's less than six miles away from Jordan Middle School, where Hernandez allegedly assaulted two students in late September before he was arrested.
Few details have been shared about the allegations from Rose Garden, but court records indicate an "offense date" of Sept. 12. Online records also show he previously charges for domestic violence in 2012.
Officials with Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD said after the first arrest that Hernandez wouldn't be returning to the district "in any capacity."
Schertz police notified the public about the latter allegations last week, at which point the district confirmed Hernandez was at the center of both investigations. He had been out on bond for the initial arrest stemming from Jordan Middle School before he was arrested again this week.
"We're very proud that students feel that they can go up to our officers and report something that can just be very uncomfortable for them and that they trust our officers enough to speak out when something does happen to them," Erik Mireles, public information officer for the Cibolo Police Department, said last week. "It's not good keeping things like this quiet."
Hernandez faces anywhere from 5 to 99 years or life in prison if convicted in either investigation.
