The former NFL tight end is charged in the fatal shooting of his friend, Odin Lloyd, in June 2013."

Aaron Hernandez has been locked up in jail for a year now and TMZ is reporting that one incident has him in hot water, as the former Patriots star is being investigated for threatening to kill a prison guard and while another inmate says the charges are not true, they are being looked into and as this goes on, two accomplices in Hernandez's murder case, Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace, were indicted on murder charges.

According to TMZ, who seems to have a tipster inside the Bristol County Jail apparently, Hernandez is being looked at after making threats to an officer last year while in BCJ lockup. The report says that a fellow inmate at the jail says the charges are not true a and that the inmate was asked about the incident back in 2013 and he claimed that it came after Hernandez was caught getting extra food while in jail.

The questioning included whether Hernandez threatened to kill the guard and the inmate described how Hernandez would use excuses to get more food, as he was losing weight in jail at a fast rate and wanted to put on more weight. The inmate said that Hernandez did it "one too many times" and the guards got mad and that was what preceded the incident. The questions that were asked to the inmate included about what Hernandez said, including if he said that he would "kill the guard and shoot his family" when he gets out of jail and he was also asked if the former Patriots star made a machine gun sound.

The report says that the inmate never said that he threatened the guard and that he called him a "bitch" at one point. Hernandez was "written up" for what happened. As this goes on, ESPN.com reported that the two other accomplices in the case were charged with murder in indictments and according to the Sporting News, that could help Hernandez, as it may show that the prosecution does not have a good case against him and that they are hoping the other two will make sure someone goes to jail for the murder of Lloyd.

"I think they were going to go with the theme that this was a rush to arrest (Hernandez). I think this enhances their argument that it was a rush to arrest, then investigate later,'' said Michael DelSignore, a Bristol, Mass.-based lawyer to the Sporting News.
