LAS VEGAS (AP) — A former O.J. Simpson co-defendant who was given probation after testifying against the fallen football star has been jailed and could be sent to state prison for failing a drug test, his lawyer said Thursday.

Charles Cashmore, 41, was taken into custody on New Year's Eve and faces a hearing before the judge who let him and three other men remain free after sentencing Simpson and co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart to prison.

"He violated probation," attorney Edward Miley said, citing a state Division of Parole and Probation report that he said showed Cashmore had methamphetamine in his system.
