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.

Friend to testify in O.J. Simpson wrongful death suit
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — A friend of O.J. Simpson has been ordered to appear in court regarding the finances of the former football star, who was acquitted of double murder but slapped with a $33.5 million settlement that remains unpaid to the victims’ families.
Alfred Beardsley must appear Nov. 23 in Los Angeles Superior Court in Santa Monica. The order, issued Tuesday, was at the request of Fred Goldman, whose son Ron Goldman was brutally stabbed to death along with Nicole Brown Simpson.
Fred Goldman’s attorney wrote in a declaration filed with the court that Beardsley “has knowledge” of Simpson’s “financial condition” and of his “non-exempt property, which may be ordered to be applied to the satisfaction of the judgment.”

Today, a man named Alfred Beardsley was subpoenaed to appear in court to see if he was helping O.J. squirrel away cash. Beardsley is an O.J. Simpson fan and memorabilia collector. The Goldman family suspected Beardsley might be up to no good after hearing he‘d done some business with Simpson in the past. Here‘s what O.J. had to say about that.

SIMPSON: For them to tell the courts that this guy is a friend of mine, other than the guy who‘s an autograph collector, who I may have seen twice in my life, twice in my entire life. Certainly I‘ve never done any business with him, other than autographs.

ABRAMS: We will talk to the man at the—we talked to the man at the center of that court hearing, Alfred Beardsley earlier today. He said when he reported to the courthouse, there was a closed door hearing and he was forced to give over two press passes that would be considered O.J. Simpson memorabilia.
over here...
LOL! I was just reading...thinking about how hilarious this all is..
Sting operation...ROFLMAO!!!
the ‘victim’ and OJ go back years
Who buys this crap? http://tinyurl.com/25fp4b
OMG I knew there was more to this:

As TMZ reports, a war has ensued over the impending sale of the suit OJ Simpson was wearing in court on the day of hit “Not Guilty” verdict.
David Cook, the lawyer for Fred Goldman (father of the man Simpson slaughtered), filed legal papers Monday in Santa Monica asking a judge to grab that suit.
[Memorabilia salesman Alfred Beardsley] said he had a conference call this morning with Cook and Kim Goldman. Beardsley says he plans to acquire the suit, and the trio talked about the Goldmans getting a percentage of the sale to help satisfy the outstanding judgment. The court could engineer the ground rules tomorrow.
Just the way I’ve felt ever since the verdict for the civil suit was handed down, any cent made by OJ, because of OJ, or anything related to the trial, should go to the Goldmans until they are completely paid off. Beardsley says he could get $100,000 for the suit. That seems like an awfully lot for me. But who am I to talk? That’s a bargain compared to $10,000 for Luis Gonzalez’s chewing gum. At least the winning bidder can rock it to a Bar Mitzvah or something. My only question: does it come with the tie?
you’re right - Leno and Letterman’s writers will have it easy.

I bet neither of them says, “Think how much trouble he would be in if he was black.”
Alfred Beardsley needs to find another line of work.
It’s too sticky being involved in anything OJ.
Oh yeah, those were silk suits that OJ wore.
Good work, RDTF.
Let’s see if the news people read FR and steal your scoop...:)
Special ping...:)
RDTF........Great find! I think Killer is going to be in even more trouble than armed robbery once the whole story comes out.
Bump
The Juice Is On the Loose!
This incident is no coincidence with the book coming out today. He flipped out thinking about the Goldmans making money off that, and off that suit too.
Good point........Hopefully, this will end up helping the Goldmans.
I think Greta did the same googling as me, (or read this thread - ha!) because I think she is about to spill this scoop on Fox coming up next.
RDTF, I think she read the thread :) You definitely broke the scoop before she did!
Has he ever paid them anything?
I knew it would happen... you scooped it, girl.
