Aaron Hernadez's brother, D.J. Hernandez, could get hauled to jail in Connecticut once again ... TMZ Sports has learned a re-arrest has been ordered for him after he failed to show up last week for a hearing in his ESPN brick-throwing case.
According to court records, D.J. was supposed to be at a courthouse in New Britain for proceedings on Friday ... though an official tells us he didn't appear.
Aaron Hernandez's Brother Arrested For Allegedly Throwing Brick At ESPN Headquarters
As a result, the rep said, a re-arrest for D.J. was ordered.
We reached out to D.J. for comment on the situation ... but so far, we haven't heard back yet.
D.J. is currently facing one misdemeanor charge of breach of peace in the case ... after authorities accused him of throwing a brick at ESPN's headquarters back on March 23.
During the alleged incident in Bristol ... cops say D.J. -- Aaron's older brother and a former Division 1 football player -- attached a note to the object which read, in part, "It's about time you all realeyes the affect media has on all family members."
"Since you're a world wide leader maybe you could lead how media and messages are delivered brick by brick. Clean it up!"
D.J. was also hit with criminal charges in a separate incident that authorities said happened just days prior to the one in Bristol. In that case, D.J. was arrested after being accused of leading cops on a wild car chase after they attempted to pull him over for a routine traffic stop.
Aaron Hernandez's Bro Cuts Deal W/ Prosecutors To Close Out Reckless Driving Case
D.J., though, reached a deal with officials in April to close out that case ... pleading guilty to one count of failure to drive in a proper lane and one count of failure to use traffic control signals. In exchange, prosecutors dropped the other charges against him -- which included reckless driving and engaging police in pursuit.
He was ordered to pay $100 in fines ... and that matter was closed.
