Report: Hernandez Used 'Angel Dust' Drug, Was So Paranoid He Carried Gun at All Times

Former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez reportedly used the drug “angel dust” (PCP) and was so paranoid about his safety that he carried a gun wherever he went, according to a report. Hernandez is currently in jail after being charged with the first-degree murder of Odin Lloyd.

Rolling Stone will have a feature on Hernandez’s life next week, and the publication previewed some of the revelations: 

• Hernandez was a heavy user of angel dust, and had become so paranoid over the last year that he carried a gun wherever he went.

• He surrounded himself with a cohort of gangsters, and cut himself off from his family and teammates. 

• Hernandez had so infuriated his head coach, Bill Belichick, with missed practices and thug-life stunts, that he was one misstep from being cut.

• Both his parents, Dennis and Terri, had criminal records, as did much of his extended family.

• Terri allegedly cheated on Dennis before his death with a violent drug dealer named Jeffrey Cummings, then married Cummings after Dennis died and moved him into the house she shared with Aaron.

• In college his coach (then-University of Florida head coach Urban Meyer) may have helped cover up failed drug tests, along with two violent incidents — an assault and a drive-by shootout outside a local bar.
