It just gets worse and/or weirder:

Investigators in the Aaron Hernandez murder case were prepared to interview a Bristol man who was killed in an early Sunday car crash.
Multiple law enforcement sources said Thaddeus Singleton III, 33, was associated with Hernandez and of interest to investigators. Singleton was killed when the car he was driving flew off the road, split a pole in half and careened into Farmington Country Club. Police said the car was registered to Aaron Hernandez's uncle, who is Singleton's father-in-law.
His death was ruled an accident, and it is unclear whether he knew of investigators' interest in his connection to the former New England Patriot star tight end, a Bristol native.

Shortly before the 2010 NFL Draft, a scouting service that prepares confidential psychological profiles of players for NFL teams found that Aaron Hernandez enjoyed "living on the edge of acceptable behavior" and cautioned that he could become "a problem" for his team.
On one personality test, Hernandez, who was arrested last week on murder and weapons charges, received the lowest possible score, 1 out of 10, in the category of "social maturity."

Aaron Hernandez may have received a break in escaping serious and public punishment for allegedly punching a bar manager when he was a 17-year-old at the University of Florida. According to an incident report, Hernandez, who had yet to play a down for the Gators, got help from Florida coaches and staff and from a famous teammate: then-Florida quarterback Tim Tebow.
In the April 2007 incident, Hernandez allegedly punched bar manager Michael Taphorn so hard that his eardrum burst and police recommended felony battery charges, according to the official police report. The resolution of the case is unknown because the state attorney's office doesn't release information on juvenile crimes. But a more detailed incident investigation report consisting of several officers' interviews in the days after the incident sheds light on the matter.
Around 1 a.m. on April 28, 2007, Hernandez and Taphorn, a manager at The Swamp bar and restaurant near Florida's campus, argued over Hernandez's refusal to pay for two alcoholic drinks, according to the incident report. Tebow—who would win the Heisman Trophy about seven months later—witnessed the conflict and "went over to try to help resolve" it, according to the report.
An officer named N.S. Hallett followed up with a report dated May 14, 2007. "Taphorn did state that he has been contacted by legal staff and coaches with UF and that they are working on an agreement however nothing has been finalized," according to the report. "Taphorn stated that he may request that the charges be dropped. I advised him that if that was his final decision that he would have to contact the State Attorney's office."

Police this spring responded to two domestic incidents at the Los Angeles-area residence of Aaron Hernandez, the star National Football League player arrested on murder and gun charges last week.
Police in Hermosa Beach, Calif., said Tuesday that both incidents occurred in a house near the beach. The first occurred on the night of March 25, when Hernandez and his fiancée, Shayanna Jenkins, got into an argument, police said. Jenkins said that there was no violence and that Hernandez, who had been drinking, said he punched a window "due to being mad about something else" and cut his wrist, according to police records.
Police responded to a second call at the same house on the night of April 2. A neighbor heard a man and woman yelling and things being thrown around, according to police records. Police arrived to intervene. Police records said the woman, Jenkins, was packing items and that the male, who wasn't named, had left the house and would return later. Jenkins couldn't be reached for comment.
