O.J. Simpson questioned about break-in at Las Vegas casino

LAS VEGAS—O.J. Simpson was questioned about a casino hotel room break-in involving sports memorabilia, police said Friday. The break-in was reported at the Palace Station casino late Thursday night, police spokesman Jose Montoya said. He said the break-in involved sports collectibles, but he declined to elaborate.

Simpson was released, but is considered a suspect in the case, Montoya said. He is believed to be in Las Vegas.

"We don't believe he's going anywhere," he said.

The Heisman Trophy winner, ex-NFL star and actor had been scheduled to give a deposition Friday in Miami in a bankruptcy case involving his eldest daughter. But it was rescheduled because Simpson had told attorneys that he would be out of town.

Simpson lives near Miami and has been a tabloid staple since his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman were killed in 1994. Simpson was acquitted of murder charges, but a jury later held him liable for the killings in a wrongful death lawsuit.

Simpson has had to auction off his sports collectibles, including his Heisman Trophy, to pay some of the $33.5 million judgment awarded to the Goldman family.

Las Vegas police said "associates of Simpson" also were questioned in the case, along with the alleged victims.

“Las Vegas police said “associates of Simpson” also were questioned in the case, along with the alleged victims.’

“Alleged victims”? LOL

Overcome by fear that victims of crimes could sue them for being characterized as such before trial, news organs who don’t hesitate to reveal national security secrets opt for weasel words.

OK, I'll take a stab at it - there will be a huge hole in the DA's case, and once again OJ will be out slicing on the golf course.

Just my gut instinct, that's all.

apparently he was stealing back stuff that was stolen from him, but “break-in” is the wrong description, more like strong arm robbery. I bet those guys were scared s**tless having an angry OJ in the room.

You have to admit, he has a very strong slice.

I’d always thought that OJ was a hooker, but you’re right...undoubtedly a slicer.

I remember that day. I was at the beauty shop, great place to be.... dishing with the girls and watching this unbelievable scenario unfold. Especially funny was Jim Hill coming on air to talk O.J. out of it. Horrible were the “fans” who stood on bridge overpasses and cheered him.

What do you bet that the driver of the Bronco was one of the “associates” with him in LV?

“alleged victims”

This is a good example of the Cochran-ish razzle dazzle commonly associated with O.J.
