Aaron Hernandez Allegedly Threatened To Shoot Jail Guard, Kill His Family: Report

New information surrounding Aaron Hernandez’s life in county jail before being convicted of double homicide in 2015 surfaced Thursday after records from the Bristol County House of Corrections were made public. According to documents, Hernandez allegedly threatened to kill an officer who worked at the Dartmouth, Massachusetts facility and on another occasion said he dreamt of “chasing” a guard’s family.

The former New England Patriots tight end was placed at the Bristol County House of Corrections while he was awaiting trial for the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd. NBC Boston published dozens of incident reports Thursday after filing public records requests with the Bristol County Sheriff's Office following Hernandez’s April suicide.
