A man who surrendered to Miramar, Fla., police on Friday and is connected with the Odin Lloyd murder case was denied bond this morning, according to a report.

The Sun-Sentinel reported that Ernest Wallace, 41, appeared before a judge Saturday morning and was denied bond.

Wallace's attorney said Friday that his client would waive any rendition proceedings and would return to Massachusetts to face charges in the case.

Former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is being held in the Bristol County jail after being charged Wednesday with first-degree murder and a number of weapons violations. A second suspect, Carlos Ortiz, was arrested earlier this week by Connecticut authorities and appeared in a Massachusetts court room on Friday.
