A JUDGE yesterday ordered OJ Simpson to be arrested after both he and his attorney missed a court appearance on a charge the former American Football star sped through a manatee zone in a power boat.
Judge Ana Maria Pando issued a bench warrant, which means Simpson would be arrested if he were spotted by police. The judge could withdraw the warrant if either Simpson or his attorney appeared in her court.
Yale Galanter, Simpson’s attorney, said his law firm had not received notice of the court hearing. He declined to comment further.
Simpson chose to plead innocent instead of paying a $65 fine (just over £41) for the charge stemming from an incident near Miami on 4 July.
