Hmmmm. Aaron Hernandez left jail briefly over the weekend to go to the hospital but they aren’t revealing why yet. Is it coincidental that this comes shortly after he filed paperwork that he is scared of the guards at Bristol County Jail?!
Hit the jump for details…
Via ESPN:
Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was briefly taken from a jail to a hospital this weekend for an undisclosed problem, a Massachusetts sheriff said.
Hernandez was brought to St. Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford Saturday and was back at the Bristol County jail in Dartmouth about an hour later, Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson said Sunday.
Hodgson said he can’t disclose what happened because of medical privacy laws.
…
The hospital visit, first reported by WBZ-TV in Boston, came a day after his attorneys said in a transfer request that Hernandez should be moved to a jail closer to Boston because communication with his attorneys and his personal safety are being compromised.

The lawyers also suggested Hernandez’s safety is at risk now that he faces criminal charges for allegedly threatening to kill a prison guard and his family, and in an alleged jail altercation with another inmate. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty.
