Dennis John Hernandez, the older brother of late New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, is being held in a Connecticut jail on a $250,000 bail after he allegedly planned and threatened to carry out two school shootings at UConn and Brown University.
The 37-year-old was arrested July 19 and charged with threatening and breach of peace, according to a Bristol Police Department arrest log.
According to the incident report, as cited by the Associated Press, two women told police they were concerned about Hernandez and his recent "very erratic behavior," adding he was "extremely sick and that his mental health is continuing to deteriorate.
