This could mean that federal charges at some point could be brought against Aaron Hernandez. But, for now his associate is looking at a whole slew of charges. Here are the details courtesy of My Fox Boston.
Oscar Hernandez was arrested Wednesday night on federal charges amid allegations that he lied to a federal grand jury in a gun trafficking investigation that began after a June 2013 homicide in North Attleboro.
Hernandez was arrested in Florida on charges of obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and lying to a federal grand jury. Officials said his arrest is part of a gun trafficking investigation between Florida and Massachusetts.
Oscar Hernandez has previously been mentioned in court by defense attorneys representing former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez. In February, Aaron Hernandez’s attorneys requested notes and interviews conducted by law enforcement officials outside of Massachusetts with Oscar Hernandez. They said Oscar may be an “important witness in the case,” reports the Boston Globe.
If convicted on all charges he can be looking at 35 years in prison.
