Arrest Video Shows Aaron Hernandez’s Brother Asking Police To Shoot Him

by

DJ Hernandez, the older brother of Aaron Hernandez, was arrested on July 18. Hernandez had been accused of planning a mass shooting, with a woman who lived with Hernandez claiming that he had spent time scouting the campuses of UConn and Brown. Hernandez played for UConn between 2005 and 2007 and for Brown in 2010 and 2011. Furthermore, prior to his arrest, Hernandez had been posting increasingly concerning comments on social media. “Will I kill? Absolutely,” one post read in part. Hernandez had previously been arrested in March after throwing a bag of bricks onto the ESPN campus in Bristol, Connecticut, where Hernandez also lived.

Following the reports from a woman who lived with Hernandez about his planning mass shooting, police moved to apprehend Hernandez. According to the Bristol PD, Hernandez emerged from his home and repeatedly asked the police to shoot him. Additionally, he later had been incapacitated using a stun gun after threatening to kill the on-scene officers. While being transported to a hospital, Hernandez reportedly told officers he planned to kill anyone who had “profited” from his brother. Aaron Hernandez, who took his own life in 2017, played for the University of Florida before joining the New England Patriots.

Hernandez Arrest Video Confirms Suicide By Cop Plea

TMZ has since released the bodycam footage taken during Hernandez’s arrest. Hernandez is seen approaching officers with hands raised and can be heard repeatedly saying “shoot me.” Hernandez is then shot with a taser as he continues to walk towards the arresting officer. As he is being restrained, Hernandez says “It’s not fair, no one listens. I don’t do this shit. Dude, I need your help.” It’s unclear what Hernandez is referring to in that moment.

UConn said in a statement that it determined at the time that there was “no known imminent threat” while Brown issued a statement saying they had no record of Hernandez returning to the campus in recent weeks. As for the next steps, Hernandez will appear in court on August 1. He is facing charges including threatening, breach of peace and failure to appear in court. The latter of those charges stems from a July court date Hernandez skipped in relation to the ESPN incident. Currently, Hernandez is being held in lieu of a $250,000 bond.

Aaron Hernandez is someone who continues to live in infamy as it pertains to the sports world. Overall, he had a huge fall from grace in the early 2010s. After a few great seasons with the New England Patriots, he was accused of murder. Subsequently, the case went to trial and he was convicted. From there, Hernandez went to prison and died by suicide in a gruesome fashion. Although this all happened very quickly, the story has still stuck with NFL fans for years on end.

Recently, Aaron Hernandez’s brother DJ has been in the news. Much of this has to do with a couple of incidents that took place back in March. Firstly, Hernandez was speeding through Connecticut and even engaged in a long police chase. Eventually, he was stopped and arrested before getting hit with some serious charges. Secondly, Hernandez showed up to the ESPN headquarters where he threw a brick with what seemed like a threatening message attached. “It’s about time you all realeyes the affect media has on all family members,” the message read. “Since you’re a world wide leader maybe you could lead how media and messages are delivered brick by brick. Clean it up!”

Aaron Hernandez’s Brother Secures Deal In Reckless Driving Case

by

Aaron Hernandez remains one of the most infamous players in the history of the NFL. Although, this is not for the best of reasons. As we all remember, he was convicted of murder. Subsequently, he went to prison and eventually died by suicide in 2017. Overall, it was a very sad saga that weighed heavily on his family. Now, his brother DJ is going through his own subset of legal issues, albeit on a much lower scale. For instance, back in March, DJ Hernandez was met by police on two separate occasions.

The first time police came into contact with him was on March 8th during a high-speed chase. Following the chase, Hernandez got hit with one count of failure to drive in a proper lane and one count of failure to use traffic control signals. According to TMZ, DJ has subsequently pled guilty to these charges. However, this was all part of a plea deal. Now, the charges are officially dropped, and Hernandez will only have to pay some fines.

Although, this does not mean he is out of the woods in regard to his legal woes. On March 23rd, the brother of Aaron Hernandez got a misdemeanor charge due to a situation at the ESPN campus in Connecticut. He reportedly threw a brick onto the premises with a note attached to it. The note had something to do with the network’s coverage of his brother. Since that time, he has been told to stay away from the campus, or he could face severe punishment. The trespassing case has yet to be dealt with.

Regardless, this is a very sad story for a multitude of reasons. It is clear that the Aaron Hernandez case has had an effect on his family members. Hopefully, DJ can get the help that he needs.
