O. J. Simpson may have angered the Las Vegas judge badly enough to be called arrogant and ignorant and have his bail doubled earlier this week but he did pay up and is now back home in Florida.

The Associated Press reports that O. J. Simpson is currently out of jail as he awaits trial on armed robbery charges. He posted bond and was released from jail late Wednesday night. He was back home in Miami on Thursday.

He managed to make headlines once more this week as he violated the terms of his release (traveling out of Nevada to Florida) and angered his judge with a two-month old profanity-laden phone message that mentioned one of his co-defendants.

Simpson, 60, posted bond last Wednesday and was picked up two days later in Florida by a bail bondsman and taken back to Nevada for violating the terms of his release. This Wednesday he was before Clark County District Judge Jackie Glass, after mentioning co-defendant Clarence “C. J.” Stewart in a phone message to his bail bondsman.

Upon being freed on bail in September, Simpson was ordered to have no contact with co-defendants or witnesses while awaiting trial on charges of orchestrating an armed robbery of two sports memorabilia collectors in a Las Vegas hotel room in September.

Judge Glass called the former football star arrogant and ignorant and doubled his bail to $250,000. She also required him to post a 15 percent premium in cash before he could be released.

“I don't know Mr. Simpson what the heck you were thinking - or maybe that's the problem - you weren't,” Judge Glass told Simpson. “I don't know if it's just arrogance. I don't know if it's ignorance. But you've been locked up at the Clark County Detention Center since Friday because of arrogance or ignorance -- or both.”

Simpson’s message asked his bail bondsman to tell Stewart that he was frustrated about testimony during a preliminary hearing several days earlier. “I just want, want C. J. to know that ... I'm tired of this (expletive),” Simpson said, as quoted by the Associated press. “Fed up with (expletives) changing what they told me. All right?”

Defense attorney Yale Galanter denied the call was an effort by Simpson to contact Stewart.

The 60-year-old former athlete and two other men face trial April 7 on 12 charges that include kidnapping, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, coercion and conspiracy.

If convicted for armed robbery, Simpson will serve jail time. If convicted for kidnapping, he could be sentenced to life with the possibility of parole.
