Dennis John “D.J.” Hernandez, the older brother of late Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, is in police custody after being accused of planning shootings at local colleges, according to multiple reports.

According to the Bristol, Conn. Police Department, a woman claiming to be Hernandez’s ex-girlfriend said he drove to Brown University and UConn on July 7 to “map out” the schools. She suspected it was part of his planning process, police said.

Hernandez was supposed to be in court that day for a separate incident, but the woman said Hernandez took her car to the campuses instead.
