OJ Simpson back behind bars

Las Vegas - OJ Simpson returned to jail, where he will spend several days before a judge hears allegations that the former football star violated terms of his bail in an armed robbery case here, officials said.
Clark County District Attorney David Roger alleges that in a November voice message, Simpson told his bail bondsman to contact co-defendant Clarence "CJ" Stewart and express frustration about testimony given at the hearing where Simpson, Stewart and a third man were ordered to stand trial.
"I just want, want "CJ to know that ... I'm tired of this (expletive)," Simpson is quoted as saying in a transcript that was included in Roger's motion to revoke bail, filed Friday. "Fed up with (expletive) changing what they told me. All right?"
Simpson had been instructed by Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Joe M Bonaventure in September not to have any contact with anyone involved in the case - not even by "carrier pigeon".
Simpson's lawyer denied the allegations.
Simpson was freed on September 19 on $125 000 bail following his arrest on allegations he and several friends burst into a Las Vegas hotel room and robbed two sports memorabilia dealers at gunpoint.
Simpson has maintained that he was retrieving items that belonged to him. He and the two other men are scheduled to stand trial April 7.
