Hernandez has secret ‘ flop house’

Kings’ Stoll, recipient of Torres’ hit, suffers seizure

-

Aaron Hernandez’s address was no secret after the media camped outside the home for days, and cameras caught him leaving in handcuffs when he was arrested on suspicion of murder.

But police didn’t know about his “flop house.”

A tip from a friend of the former New England tight end led authoritie­s to the apartment in Franklin, Mass. Subsequent searches turned up boxes of ammunition and clothing that police believe could help prove the case against Hernandez.

The items were found June 26, the day that Hernandez was arrested for allegedly orchestrat­ing the death of Odin Lloyd, according to search warrant records filed in Wrentham court.

Hernandez’s apartment, which went for $ 1,200 a month, was a few towns over from his North Attleborou­gh home.

Police learned about it from Carlos Ortiz. Prosecutor­s say Ortiz was with Hernandez and Ernest Wallace when they drove with Lloyd to an industrial park where Lloyd was shot. Police haven’t said who shot Lloyd, who was killed June 17.

Hernandez also has been linked to the investigat­ion of a double homicide in Boston. And while at the University of Florida, he was questioned in connection with a 2007 shooting in Gainesvill­e. Two men were shot, and no charges were filed.

Los Angeles center Jarret Stoll was hospitaliz­ed after suffering a seizure. The Los Angeles Times said Stoll fell ill at his Hermosa Beach home. General manager Dean Lombardi told the Times that “the bottom line is that he’s fine.

He returned for the Chicago series.

The Phoenix Coyotes have spent four years with the financial restraints of being run by the NHL. But Tuesday the Glendale City Council ( Ariz.) voted in favor of a 15- year, $ 225 million arena lease agreement with prospectiv­e team owner Renaissanc­e Sports & Entertainm­ent. The sale, agreed on in May, was contingent upon RSE reaching an agreement for Jobing. com Arena.
