(AP) SANTA BARBARA, Calif. A Santa Barbara judge has ordered that Jesse James Hollywood be shackled during court appearances.

The decision came after the kidnapping and murder suspect was allegedly caught with a makeshift rope and knives in his jail cell.

Hollywood is accused of orchestrating the August 2000 kidnapping and murder of a 15-year-old boy from the San Fernando Valley as part of a feud he had with the teen's older half brother over a drug debt.

Hollywood fled the country and was captured in Brazil last March.

He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
