Former Patriot Tight End Aaron Hernandez Gets Into A Fight In Prison

Even though he is behind bars and is serving a life sentence, Aaron Hernandez is still making headlines. This time, it is reported that he got into a disagreement with a fellow inmate which led to a scuffle.

Television stations in the Boston area are all saying that the former tight end of the New England Patriots got into a fight in Shirley, Mass., at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center. On a good note though, there were no reported injuries sustained by either parties involved.

In April, Hernandez was convicted of first degree murder after shooting and killing Odin Lloyd, and was consequently sentenced to life in prison.  He is also charged with a double count of first degree murder in 2012 after shooting two men outside of a Boston night club.

But this isn’t even the first fight at the correctional facility for Hernandez, who was also in a small brawl back in May. His previous fight was due to him being a lookout for a fellow inmate while he confronted a different inmate in a cell.

His next run in with fights happened in 2014, when he punched another inmate after exchanging words while they were being transferred from the infirmary at the Bristol County House of Correction.
