Dennis Hernandez, who has been known as D.J. and Jonathan, was issued a misdemeanor summons by Bristol police over allegations he threw a brick onto the ESPN headquarters campus on Thursday. Cheshire police also have charged him with reckless driving and other crimes for allegedly leading officers on a chase on March 8. Hernandez didn’t immediately return a message Tuesday seeking comment. No lawyers are listed for him in court records. Aaron Hernandez, a tight end for the Patriots, killed himself in prison in 2017 while serving a murder sentence.
