Hernandez, a
Bristol native, was taken into custody this morning in Massachusetts.
“It’s
devastating for the family. It’s devastating for the community,” said Mayor Art
Ward. “It’s a sad state of affairs.”
Ward said
his heart goes out to the family of the June 17 homicide victim, a semi-professional
football player, and others who suffered a loss in this terrible crime.
Susan
Nelson, a Bristol resident, said she couldn’t believe that Hernandez “threw it
all away” after making it big in the National Football League.
She said is
both sad and disgusted that the former Bristol Central football star made so
little of the opportunity he had.
“It’s a
black eye for Bristol,” Nelson said.
Ward said he
learned of the arrest when Police Chief Thomas Grimaldi phoned him
during a chamber of commerce breakfast to tell him the news.
Hernandez
was led from his North Attleborough, Mass. home in handcuffs this morning,
numerous news agencies are reporting.
