Laredo police sent a clear message Monday night to all sex offenders to make sure to register or they will be arrested for failure to comply with registration. Four persons were arrested Monday night.
The Special Investigations Unit of the Laredo Police Department (LPD) executed multiple arrest warrants for failure to comply with sex offender registration laws, taking four individuals into custody.
The arrests began late last night at a home on the 200 block of E. Stewart, where officers apprehended Manuel Hernandez, 69, and his son, Manuel Hernandez Jr., 44. Hernandez Sr. was charged with Sex Offender Duty to Register – State Jail Felony, while Hernandez Jr. faced a Felony 3 charge for Sex Offender Duty to Register for Life/Annually.
Authorities then moved to workplaces around the city, arresting Luis Enrique Perez, 57, at his job on the 9600 block of McPherson Avenue. Perez was charged with two counts of Sex Offender Duty to Register for Life/Annually (Felony 3). Similarly, Carlos Eduardo Ramirez, 35, was taken into custody at his workplace on the 3700 block of Highway 83, facing the same Felony 3 charge.
All four individuals were processed and sent to Webb County as part of the ongoing enforcement efforts. All received no bonds until they see a Magistrate Tuesday afternoon.
The LPD has reaffirmed its commitment to enforcing compliance among registered sex offenders. “If you fail to meet registration requirements, you will be arrested and sent back to jail,” the department warned.

A Brawl broke out between party goers last night in downtown Laredo when words were exchanged outside a club.
It all began when there was a reported hit and run accident between 2 cars and a report of shots fired, shortly after 2 am by San Bernardo and Matamoros.
Apparently an altercation between 2 groups of partygoers broke out on the street when they were leaving a club. Laredo Police showed up and broke out the melee.
After they got in their cars and drove away, a white BMW passenger car intentionally rammed into their dark SUV several times.
Moments later, someone from the dark SUV discharged a weapon towards the BMW. The BMW then drove away. The people in the dark SUV called to report the hit and run and the shots fired. A 9mm was recovered.
