The former New England Patriots tight end, Aaron Hernandez, has been involved in a prison fight, according to reports.

CNN says that Hernandez acted as a lookout as another prisoner went into a cell to fight with another inmate. The incident is believed to have been gang-related.

The three men have been disciplined, with Hernandez moved to a special management section of the jail.

Hernandez is currently serving a life sentence without parole at Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center for the murder of his former friend Odin Lloyd. He is also awaiting trial for a double-murder that took place in 2012.

Hernandez has found himself in trouble before in prison. He was involved in a fight at Bristol County Jail while waiting for the Lloyd trial.
