Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez got into his third prison fight on Thursday, according to WCVB in Boston. Hernandez is serving a life sentence in prison after he was found guilty of the murder of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd in April.

A disagreement with another inmate reportedly came to blows, although no injuries were reported. It’s the third time that Hernandez has had some kind of involvement in a prison fight since he was arrested in June 2013.

In May, Hernandez reportedly served as the lookout for a gang-related fight and in February 2014 he was charged with assault and battery after a fight with another inmate. Additionally, he was charged with threats to do bodily harm for allegedly threatening an officer in November 2013.

Hernandez is appealing his sentence of life in prison without parole, although he’s also facing trial for a double homicide that occurred in 2012. He played three seasons for the Patriots before he was arrested during the 2013 offseason.
