American football star Aaron Hernandez has reportedly been charged with an alleged assault in jail in February and an alleged threat at the jail last November.
The former New England Patriots tight-end is being held without bail at the Bristol County House of Correction in Dartmouth after pleading not guilty to the murder of a semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez's girlfriend.
