OJ in Vegas

September 14th, 2007 by Dave

I just had to post this one. From KLAS:

Las Vegas investigators will continue questioning O.J. Simpson today and possibly tomorrow about his involvement in a break-in at a local hotel.

Metro police held a news conference at 12:20 p.m. and said the investigation is still in its infancy.

Police say just before 8 p.m. on Thursday, they responded to a call of an armed robbery at a Palace Station hotel room. The alleged victim said one of the suspects was O.J. Simpson and he took sports memorabilia from the room.

Simpson has told the Associated Press that he only took items that belonged to him and that he did not break into the hotel room.

Police have recovered some of the items in question and are photographing and cataloguing them for the investigation.

Simpson is not currently in police custody. “Mr. Simpson is cooperating with this investigation,” said Capt. James Dillon, Metro.

Capt. Dillon says the victim did report that a gun was involved but at this point that information hasn’t been confirmed and a gun has not been recovered.

Palace Station is a pretty long way from Brentwood.
