Las Vegas ? O.J. Simpson returned to jail Friday, where he will spend several days before a judge hears allegations that he violated terms of his bail in an armed robbery case, officials said.

Simpson, 60, arrived in Las Vegas on a commercial flight from Florida with his bail bondsman, Miguel Pereira. He was taken in handcuffs by a police escort to the Clark County Detention Center, where both he and Pereira ignored questions from reporters.

But in an interview later, Pereira told The Associated Press he was unhappy because he had not been paid for handling Simpson’s bail, and that he gave prosecutors a message Simpson wanted him to take to a co-defendant because he didn’t want to face criminal charges.

“He left a message instructing me to do something violating a court order,” Pereira said after escorting the former football star from his home in Miami. “I don’t want to get involved in such a dilemma or a criminal act.”

Simpson’s attorney denied the allegations.
