Second Arrest reported
One day after former NFL player Aaron Hernandez was charged with murder, Connecticut authorities have arrested a second man in the case.
The arrest comes about 24 hours after Hernandez was led out of his North Attleboro, Mass., home in handcuffs.
Carlos Ortiz, 27, was charged as a fugitive from justice and has waived extradition to Massachusetts, authorities say. Prison records show Ortiz is being held on $1.5 million bail at a Hartford jail.
Officials declined to release the allegations against Ortiz, who is scheduled to return to court on July 23.
Ortiz was arrested Wednesday in Hernandez's hometown of Bristol, Conn. New Britain State's Attorney Brian Preleski says the arrest comes as prosecutors and Bristol police are helping Massachusetts authorities in the investigation of the shooting death of Odin Lloyd.
