'''Jimmy Hernandez''' is a character in the [[3D Universe]] who appears as a supporting character in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. A rookie member of the policing unit for [[C.R.A.S.H.|Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums]], alongside primary antagonist and unit leader [[Frank Tenpenny]] and his accomplice, quaternary antagonist [[Eddie Pulaski|Edward "Eddie" Pulaski]], he is voiced by [[Armando Riesco]].

Hernandez was born in an unknown location, and, at some point prior to [[1992]], joined the [[LSPD in GTA III Era|Los Santos Police Department]] in [[1989]]. His biggest case, prior to joining C.R.A.S.H., was a domestic violence case where a man was beating up his wife, a drug addict who nearly allowed their child to starve. Hernandez was then transferred to C.R.A.S.H. as an undercover officer to investigate fellow officers Tenpenny and Pulaski who had been taking the law into their own hands and encouraging gang violence in Los Santos' poorer neighbourhoods, after they received information from C.R.A.S.H. officer [[Ralph Pendelbury]] about their activities. Hernandez, however, tells Tenpenny and Pulaski that he realized that the only crime in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] was gang crime and joined C.R.A.S.H. for the same. Hernandez, however, almost loses his chance to work in C.R.A.S.H. when talking to Tenpenny and Pulaski about his past three years of service. Tenpenny then orders him to get out of their [[Police Car|car]] in [[East Los Santos in GTA III Era|East Los Santos]]. Hernandez, however, is later accepted back and the corrupt Tenpenny and Pulaski quickly initiate him into their criminal activities after Hernandez told them he was prepared to do whatever it took to reduce the crime in the city. The three then drive to meet Pendelbury, who is [[The Introduction|badly beaten by Pulaski before being killed by a reluctant Hernandez]], who was being held at gunpoint by Tenpenny.

Hernandez, alongside Tenpenny and Pulaski, is [[First Mission (GTA SA)|first seen arresting]] protagonist [[Carl Johnson|Carl "CJ" Johnson]] in [[Ganton]] on his return to Los Santos from [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] for his [[Beverly Johnson|mother Beverly's]] funeral. The three then drive Carl around the city's poorer neighbourhoods and hand him the gun that Hernandez had used to kill Pendelbury ten minutes previously, thus giving them leverage over Carl. The three then throw him from their moving police car, leaving him in [[Jefferson, Los Santos|Jefferson]], a part of the city controlled by Carl's gang rivals, the [[Ballas]], and return to the scene of Pendelbury's murder. Hernandez continues to work with Tenpenny and Pulaski, and later [[Mobile Phone|phones]] Carl to remind him not to leave the city and that the officers are watching him.

Tenpenny and Pulaski later arrive at [[Big Smoke's House|a house]] in [[Idlewood]] belonging to high-ranking [[Grove Street Families]] member [[Big Smoke|Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris]] on [[Running Dog|two]] [[Wrong Side of the Tracks|separate]] occasions, but without Hernandez, as they had become aware of Smoke and high-ranking [[Grove Street Families]] member [[Ryder|Lance "Ryder" Wilson]]'s involvement in [[The Introduction|Beverly's death]] and their links to the [[Ballas]], [[Los Santos Vagos]] and [[San Fierro Rifa]]. Hernandez, however, continues to follow them to [[Ryder's House|Ryder's house]] in [[Grove Street]], where Tenpenny tells Ryder and Carl about an incoming [[Brown Streak Railroad|train]] coming to the city loaded with weapons, which is later [[Catalyst|attacked]] by the duo.  

Hernandez meets Johnson while with Tenpenny and Pulaski again when Tenpenny orders Carl to [[Burning Desire|kill a 'cop killing' Los Santos Vagos gangster]] and of a [[Gray Imports|deal]] between the Ballas and [[Russian Mafia]], which Carl later interupts. Carl is later involved in a gang shoot-out between the Ballas and Grove Street Families in [[Mulholland Intersection]], after witnessing Tenpenny, Pulaski, Smoke and Ryder with the green [[Sabre]] used in Beverly's murder. Carl and his brother, [[Grove Street Families]] leader [[Sweet|Sean "Sweet" Johnson]], who was shot during the shoot-out, are both arrested by the Los Santos Police Department when they ambush the area.

Sweet is taken 'upstate' by the police but Carl, also present at the shoot-out, is taken by Tenpenny, Pulaski and Hernandez to [[Angel Pine]] in [[Whetstone]]. Tenpenny and Pulaski tell Johnson of an ex-police officer being protected by the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] as he is going to give states evidence against the two, although Hernandez is not mentioned. Hernandez, during this conversation, is urinating up a tree, suggesting that Tenpenny and Pulaski did not trust him. Carl, despite being left with no [[Weapons in GTA San Andreas|weapons]], [[Badlands|manages to kill the ex-police officer]] hiding on [[Mount Chiliad in GTA III Era|Mount Chiliad]] and [[Camera|photograph]] his corpse.

Tenpenny and Pulaski later appear at Carl's newfound [[Doherty Garage|garage]] in [[Doherty]], [[San Fierro]], telling him to [[Snail Trail|follow and kill a journalist and reporter]] looking into their activities. Hernandez, again, did not travel with them and was not mentioned as being investigated. Tenpenny, Pulaski and Hernandez continue their work in Los Santos as police officers and attempt to cover up their criminal activities. Tenpenny and Pulaski later meet Carl at a house in [[Prickle Pine]], [[Las Venturas]] where Tenpenny tells him that the 'gig is nearly up'. They have Carl [[Misappropriation|retrieve a dossier and kill a DEA and an FBI agent]] during their meeting in [[Aldea Malvada]], a ghost town, which he does. Pulaski, during this meeting, tells Tenpenny that Hernandez has 'been gone too long', indicating that he is giving evidence against the two to internal affairs.

Hernandez later travels with Tenpenny and Pulaski to the ghost town [[Las Brujas]] to meet Carl for collecting the dossier he had taken from the DEA and FBI agent. Hernandez holds Carl at gunpoint as Pulaski collects the dossier but is then hit on the head with a [[Shovel|shovel]] by Tenpenny for giving evidence against the two to internal affairs, confirming their earlier [[Misappropriation|suspicions]]. Hernandez lays on the ground injured and, after Tenpenny had left and Pulaski was distracted, attempted to save Carl's life by rushing Pulaski, who was holding Carl at gun point. Pulaski, however, [[High Noon|quickly turns around and shoots Hernandez, who dies]].

Hernandez' actions, however, allow Carl to escape and kill Pulaski. The evidence Hernandez gave to internal affairs is later used to arrest Tenpenny. The district attorney puts both Tenpenny and Pulaski, who was tried in absentia, on trial for racketeering, corruption, narcotics and sexual assault. The case, however, is dismissed due to a lack of evidence. A television reporter, during the [[Riot (GTA SA)|trial]], reveals that the authorities believe that Hernandez was killed for giving information to internal affairs. Carl, however, is [[End of the Line|involved in a long pursuit]] of Tenpenny, which resulted in his death after driving a [[Fire Truck|fire truck]] over a bridge into Grove Street.
