OJ Arrested for Armed Robbery
The details are only just coming out, but it looks like OJ’s on the loose again. This time it’s armed robbery to "reclaim" some of his sports memorabelia.
No word for sure yet on whether or not those people from whom OJ Simpson took the pieces legally owned them or not. I wonder if he can get out of this charge using Johnnie Cochran and the dreaded Chewbacca defense?
Silly aquitted-murderer ex-football stars…
OJ SIMPSON has been arrested over the alleged armed robbery of his sporting memorabilia from a group of men in a Las Vegas hotel room.
Simpson is being held at a Las Vegas police station after asking to see his lawyer, the Associated Press has reported.
Police have said he will be charged with robbery with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary with a firearm among other offences. More charges could follow, police have said.
"He was very co-operative, there were no issues," police captain James Dillon has said. One other person has been arrested over the alleged armed robbery.
It was reported over the weekend that Simpson was being investigated. He insisted there were no guns involved and that he entered the room at the Palace Station casino to get mementos, including his Hall of Fame certificate, that he said were stolen from him.
"It’s stolen stuff that’s mine, nobody was roughed up,” Simpson said.
However the police have said two firearms were seized during early morning searches before OJ’s arrest.
Simpson, 60, had said earlier that he had not involved the police in trying to recover his mementos because officers are often unresponsive to him after his acquittal for the 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown-Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
"The police, since my trouble, have not worked out for me," the AP quoted him as saying. He said that whenever he does call the police, "it just becomes a story about OJ".
Simpson was acquitted of the murder charges but found liable in a later civil trial.
