Warrant issued for the arrest of Aaron Hernandez: The police don't like it when you mess with their evidence


Lesson number one: when the police list you as a possible suspect in a homicide case, don't mess with their evidence.

Simple, right? Well apparently Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez didn't get that memo and now he is going to be arrested for it.  


It seems like months ago when this all began: a semi pro football player, Odin Lloyd is found in an industrial park with a bullet wound through his head. As things quickly developed, the case was linked back to Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez via a rental car under his name, before, 24 hours later it was reported that for almost three hours, Massachusetts State Police descended on the home where Hernandez lives picking through undergrowth on both sides of the as well as moving inside the home and returning a few hours later with a large box. 

And then there was Thursday. From sunrise on, Hernandez' home was a media circus as it was soon reported that while a cell phone was given to the police as evidence, it was "in pieces." But that's wasn't even the worst of this all. As you may assume, this near muti million dollar residence was, leading up to this homicide, livid with an intense security system. The keyword in sentence: was. Immediately after officers left his house it was reported that Hernandez had destroyed his security system as well as hired a team of professional cleaners to scrub his house. The police of course did not like that.  

At this point in time it has been widely confirmed that a warrant for the arrest of Aaron Hernandez has been issued all based on a charge of obstructing justice. Now what does this mean for Hernandez? Obviously, the past few days for Patriots fans have not been fun as for almost 4 years now, Hernandez has been a monster compliment to the killer scoring punch of fellow tight end Rob Gronkowski. Nevertheless, while having a warrant for your arrest is never a good thing, the situation could be worse for Hernandez as he could already be deemed lucky for not having additional charges pinned against him. 

As said before, police did remove a box from Hernandez' home and while we don't know what was in that box an additional piece of prime evidence has recently been made public. According to officials, Lloyd and Hernandez had been good friends for several years and were seen partying in a bar just hours before Lloyd was murdered.  

It confirmed via a text sent out by Lloyd, that the 4 men supposedly left the bar in the same car all destined for Hernandez' home.  According to a Fox 25 report released a few hours after Hernandez was linked to the murder, "It is unclear where the car went or what happened during the ride, but according to the source only three men returned to Hernandez’s home at the end of the night and Lloyd was not one of them." 

So: you have the homicide case but still Hernandez should be counting his blessings that he is only getting sued for an incident outside a Miami club that resulted in Hernandez allegedly shooting a man in the face causing the loss of an eye.  

I have said it once and I'm going to say it again. Aaron Hernandez is in some real trouble and this time it’s because the police don't like it when you mess with their evidence.
