Many thought the police arrived at Hernandez’s home to carry out the “paper” warrant for obstructing justice.

Per the Herald, police left with what appeared to be multiple evidence bags. FOX 25 in Boston described them as large brown bags, pegging the amount at “several.”
More than a dozen state police officers were on the Hernandez property for roughly four total hours.
The search arises from the murder of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd. Video evidence reportedly shows Lloyd and Hernandez together last Sunday night/Monday morning. On Monday afternoon, Lloyd’s body was found in an industrial park close to the Hernandez home.
