http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRI...pson.bail/index.htmlLAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP) -- O.J. Simpson was taken into custody in Florida on allegations that he violated terms of his bail by trying to get in touch with a co-defendant in a Las Vegas armed robbery case, according to court documents.
O.J. Simpson faces trial on 12 counts, including robbery and conspiracy.
Simpson, 60, is to go before a Nevada judge on Wednesday at the request of Clark County District Attorney David Roger.
The prosecutor filed a motion Friday to revoke Simpson's bail, a court clerk said.
Court documents obtained by CNN say Simpson allegedly tried to reach co-defendant Clarence Stewart though a bail bondsman. That was a violation of the terms of his release.
Authorities say they have a copy of a voicemail Simpson left for Stewart, the court documents say.
Simpson was freed 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's lawyer, Yale Galanter, did not return phone messages seeking comment.
Simpson has pleaded not guilty to 12 criminal counts in connection with what prosecutors contend was an armed robbery.
In November, a judge ordered the former football great and two co-defendants to stand trial.
The counts include conspiracy, kidnapping, robbery, burglary, coercion and assault with a deadly weapon.
Prosecutors allege Simpson and five other men burst into a room at the Palace Station Hotel, held two memorabilia dealers -- Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong -- against their will and flashed at least one gun while removing items.
Simpson said he was merely taking back items that belonged to him, but one of the two alleged victims described it as a "military-style invasion."
Three other men initially charged along with Simpson in the incident -- Walter Alexander, Charles Cashmore and Michael McClinton -- testified against him during a preliminary hearing under the terms of a plea agreement with prosecutors

Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag.
