Aaron Hernandez was seen "apparently high" and dancing in front of a gas station on the night Odin Lloyd was killed in June of 2012, according to the New York News.
The News reports prosecutors recently told the court Hernandez was observed at the Blue Hill Express Gas Station prior to picking up Lloyd in the early morning hours of June 17. The newspaper adds alleged accomplices Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace were with Hernandez when he later picked up Lloyd at his Dorchester home.
"He danced in his own headlights for so long the gas station attendant turned off the outside lights to get rid of him," a high-ranking law enforcement source told The News. "He was apparently high, or very much appeared to be."
Lead prosecutor William McCauley has also told the court that Hernandez's whereabouts with Lloyd and others that night were pieced together by cell-phone tracking towers and video from surveillance cameras. Hernandez, 24, remains jailed without bail and refined to solitary confinement on first degree murder charges.
He has pleaded not guilty and is set to go on trial later this year. A further request by prosecutors last week to gain possession of the former New England Patriots tight end jailhouse phone cails was denied by a Bristol Superior Court. In the motion, prosecutors argued Hernandez had used coded messages to talk about the killing with acquaintances.
