Police have arrested a man who they allege called in a bomb threat that forced the evacuation of the Massachusetts courthouse where Aaron Hernandez's murder trial is being held.
Fall River police on Friday announced the arrest of 55-year-old Paul Haddad of Westwood. Haddad is scheduled to be arraigned Friday. It's not known if he has a lawyer who could comment on the accusations.
Police say Thursday's threat had nothing to do with Hernandez, the former New England Patriots player.
Police did not disclose a motive. Westwood and Fall River are about 50 miles apart.
The Fall River Justice Center was evacuated for about an hour on Thursday while the building was searched. Nothing dangerous was found.
On Friday, Hernandez’s testified that he was intoxicated in the hours before the killing of her sister's boyfriend.
Shayanna Jenkins also told jurors that she found a handgun in a kitchen junk drawer before the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd.
Jenkins avoided looking at Hernandez as she testified. As she left the stand for a break, she mouthed something to him. Her face looked ashen.
Jenkins was granted immunity to testify, which meant she could face jail time if she did not take the stand.
Among those in the gallery was Jenkins' younger sister, Shaneah. She was sitting with Lloyd's family.
Jenkins described her relationship with Shaneah relationship as estranged.
