Aaron Hernandez Accused Of Threatening To Shoot & Kill Jail Guard

Aaron Hernandez is already awaiting a murder trial and has already participated in a jail fight, but did the former New England Patriots star also threaten a jail guard?  Hernandez is being accused of making the threats late last year, though a fellow inmate says it isn’t true.

We know … investigators recently met with an ex-inmate who was locked up near Hernandez at BCJ to discuss a 2013 incident between the former New England Patriots tight end and a correctional officer. 

During the questioning … investigators asked if Hernandez had threatened to kill the guard — who blew the whistle on Aaron when he was trying to deviously score extra food inside the joint.

(Note— The ex-inmate told investigators Aaron was noticeably losing weight in jail and would run various schemes to get extra food … like putting an insect on a half eaten meal and then complain to officials so he could get a fresh serving. But the ex-inmate claimed Aaron pulled his schemes “one too many times” which pissed off the officers … who put an end to the extra food.)

Among the questions investigators asked the ex-inmate — did Aaron ever say anything to the effect of … when he gets out of jail, he’s going to “kill the guard and shoot his family.”

They also want to know if Aaron ever made a noise like a “machine gun round” to the guard. 

The ex-inmate was adamant Hernandez NEVER threatened the guard … though he did claim Aaron called the guy a “bitch” during the heated exchange.

Hernandez was “written up” over the incident. 

Whether Hernandez threatened the guard during the argument or not, he has got to CHILL! He hasn’t even gone to trial yet. He’s still in COUNTY jail. Is he trying to sit in jail longer than necessary? Goodness.

In related news, new indictments may work in Hernandez’s favor and help him beat his murder case, according to a lawyer who frequently works in the court house where Hernandez was indicted. Two associates were charged last week in the murder of Odin Lloyd and a lawyer (not associated with the case) feels like this could be a good thing. “I think they were going to go with the theme that this was a rush to arrest (Hernandez). I think this enhances their argument that it was a rush to arrest, then investigate later,’’ said Michael DelSignore, the Bristol, Mass.-based lawyer.

We will just have to see!
