HOUSTON - Allen Stanford, who is in jail awaiting trial on charges related to an alleged $7 billion fraud, was taken to a Texas hospital after a fight with another inmate, a deputy U.S. Marshal confirmed on Friday.

Stanford, 59, was injured in a fight on Thursday morning and needed medical attention, the deputy said. He will be kept in the hospital overnight returned to the jail on Saturday, Houston television station KPRC-TV reported. The deputy declined to provide details of the extent of Stanford's injuries.

A phone call to Stanford's lawyer was not immediately returned. Stanford has been in a federal detention facility 40 miles north of Houston since his arrest in June. He is accused of running a Ponzi scheme targeting clients of his offshore bank in Antigua.

Last month, Stanford spend five days in the hospital undergoing heart tests.

- Have you noticed how they stopped referring to him as "Sir Allen" in all the newspapers once all his money was definitely gone and he had to go on legal aid? But I'm sure the judge will still call him sir though.

I sentence you to one hundred and fifty years, sir.
