NORTH ATTLEBORO, Mass. -- New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was questioned by police investigating a possible homicide in this town 40 miles south of Boston. A source with knowledge of the investigation said Massachusetts State police spoke to Hernandez on Monday and were interested in possibly searching his home.

Hernandez is not believed to be a murder suspect, according to a source, but a vehicle rented in his name has emerged as a key piece of evidence in the investigation. The Sun Chronicle of Attleboro, Mass., reported on Tuesday that police identified a rented 2013 Chevrolet Suburban with Rhode Island license plates in connection with the possible homicide. According to the paper, the vehicle is registered to Enterprise and investigators were hoping to analyze it for fingerprints. A source said Hernandez's name is tied to that rental vehicle.

A jogger found the body of a 27-year-old Boston man on Monday in an North Attleboro clearing, less than a mile from Hernandez's home.

A North Attleboro police car idled in front of Hernandez's home on Tuesday, parked across the street from two television news vans. Yasmina Serdarevic, a spokesperson for the Bristol County District Attorney's Office, declined comment on Tuesday afternoon when contacted by SI.com.

A source close to Hernandez confirmed that the player had spoken with authorities in connection with case, but would not elaborate. Athletes First, Hernandez's agency, declined comment when contacted by SI.com. Hernandez has consulted with a lawyer, who did not return a call from SI.com.

A fourth-round pick in the 2010 draft, Hernandez was named to the Pro Bowl in his second season. Last season he caught 51 passes and scored five touchdowns for the Patriots.

I believe they do.

They deemed him a flight risk since he just bought a plane ticket to Hong Kong. Supposedly, he was on his way to Ecuador and didn't realize there were direct flights.

Untrue.

This designation, which has no legal impact, emphasizes that they have a "government based on the common consent of the people" as opposed to one legitimized through their earlier royal colony status that was derived from the King of Great Britain.

The word commonwealth in this context refers to the common "wealth", or welfare, of the public and is derived from a loose translation of the Latin term res publica.

Can anyone, without looking it up, name the 4 Commonwealths in the US?

Mass, VA, Delaware, Connecticut?

I actually knew the Pennsylvania one. Wouldn't have gotten Kentucky at all.

As in charges are dropped or posted bail?

[Amnorix]

Reports here are one "serious" charge and four lesser charges. Interesting that nobody else has been arrested yet.

I'm thinking Murder 1 for the serious charge. Even if its via felony murder.

I'm thinking as in "released BY THE PATRIOTS" which is old news at this point.

Arraignment is at 2:00. Bail, if any, will be set then.

Right, but in a Commonwealth it doesn't not matter if a party wishes to charge another. If a crime was committed the state can then bring charges.

Mass, Va, Ky, and Penn.

Patriots removed his name from the team roster, from the team website, and there are not Hernandez items you can buy from their pro shop. Apparently they had all this ready to go before today. They've punched the eject button on him as hard as you can punch it.
