Aaron Hernandez‘s brother, Dennis “D.J.” Hernandez, was arrested last week for allegedly throwing a brick at ESPN’s headquarters with a note attached.
The incident happened on March 23 around 3 pm, right after police did a welfare check on D.J. after he had allegedly said he wanted to smash the windows at the Capitol Hil and the famed Bristol, CT ESPN campus.
Police said an Uber arrived on the campus grounds but was turned away. However, the passenger got out of the car, threw a brick, got back into the car, and left.
A large brick was inside a white plastic bag and contained a note:
“To all media outlets,” cops say the message read. “It’s about time you all realeyes the affect media has on all family members. Since you’re a world wide leader maybe you could lead how media and messages are delivered brick by brick. Clean it up!”
The note was signed, “Yours truly, Dennis J. Hernandez.”
Police eventually made contact with D.J., who confessed to being on ESPN’s grounds but didn’t want to talk about the incident. He was arrested for misdemeanor breach of peace but was released on a promise to appear in court next month.
The 36-year-old was very close with his brother and the tight end of the New England Patriots. He decided to go by his middle name after his brother’s murder case. Hernandez died in 2017 of suicide after being convicted and sent to jail.
