O.J. Simpson jailed in Florida, accused of violating bail

LAS VEGAS -- O.J. Simpson is in custody in Florida on allegations that he violated terms of his release on bail in a Las Vegas armed robbery case, a court official said Friday.

Simpson was to go before a judge Wednesday at the request of Clark County District Attorney David Roger, who was filing a motion Friday to revoke Simpson's bail, according to a court clerk.

"We understand he's in the custody of his bail bondsman in Florida right now, and will be brought to Las Vegas for the hearing," said Elana Pitaro, a clerk for District Court Judge Jackie Glass.

A bail bondsman at You Ring We Spring bail bonds in North Las Vegas declined to comment.
