After the weapon was found in his cell, Hernandez was moved to a segregated section at Souza Baranowski Correctional Center where he is being held.

Guards found a prison-made knife during a shakedown of Hernandez's cell Thursday, WHDH.com reported, citing sources. He was immediately taken out of general population, according to the website.

Mr. Hernandez is serving a life sentence in the death of Odin Lloyd in 2013. This isn't the first time Hernandez has been in trouble since being incarcerated. In fact, he's been disciplined at least twice.

Aaron Hernandez is expected to stand trial in January for a 2012 double murder case.
