In a bizarre and breaking story, the former USC Trojan is currently being questioned by the Las Vegas Police for an alleged armed robbery in a locked hotel room involving OJ Simpson collectibles.

Simpson is claiming that the team of people, including himself, that stormed into a room at the Palace Station casino last night, were conducting a "sting operation" to recover his own property.

"Everybody knows this is stolen stuff," Simpson said. "Not only wasn't there a break-in, but [Auction House owner Tom] Riccio came to the lobby and escorted us up to the room. In any event, it's stolen stuff that's mine. Nobody was roughed up."

"When they talked to him, Simpson made the comment that he believed the memorabilia was his," [Las Vegas police spokesman, Jose] Montoya said. "We're getting conflicting stories from the two sides."

Simpson is considered a suspect in the case, Montoya said. He was released after he and several associates were questioned, and he remained in Las Vegas.

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

In a press conference broadcast live on several local LA television new stations, minutes ago, police said that they are questioning Simpson who they say has no attorney present.

I know this is slightly off subject but I want to take tis opportunity to say FUCK THE GOLDMANS. I don't care what they say there is no reason/excuse to put that book out. Well, I guess cold card cash is the reason but still totally inexcusable. Now everyone knows that that they are totally full of shit and no one has to feel bad for them anymore.
