Pats Player Hernandez Taken From Home in Handcuffs

New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was taken from his home in handcuffs Wednesday morning, more than a week after a Boston semi-pro football player was found dead in an industrial park a mile from Hernandez's house.

It wasn't clear what charges were being filed against Hernandez. Less than two hours after his arrest, the Patriots announced they had cut him from the team.

Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old semi-pro football player for the Boston Bandits, was found slain June 17. Officials ruled the death a homicide but did not say how Lloyd died.

Hernandez was arrested on a state police warrant at about 8:45 a.m. and was being booked at the North Attleborough police station, state police said on the agency's Twitter account. State police said they wouldn't discuss the charge against Hernandez until it's presented in Attleboro District Court later Wednesday.
