LAS VEGAS -- Investigators questioned O.J. Simpson about a break-in at a casino hotel room involving sports memorabilia, police said today.

The break-in was reported at the Palace Station casino late Thursday night, police spokesman Jose Montoya said.

Simpson was released and is believed to be in Las Vegas, Montoya said.

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


Hmmm...They wont let him leave town?

You know, they got capone on tax evasion. I don't care how they get this killer behind bars, just get him behind bars.

I think he told someone that he was "Absolutely, 100% not guilty."

Oh wait, that was for something else.

From SI.com:

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

OK, so let me get this straight - the scumbag sells this stuff off to help satisfy a legally rendered civil judgment against him, he then breaks into a casino to try to steal it back and now he claims the stuff was stolen from HIM?

O.J. Simpson is a suspect in a theft of sports memorabilia from a hotel room at Palace Station Hotel and Casino, police in Las Vegas said today.

"The investigation is ongoing, and O.J. Simpson is alleged to be the suspect," Las Vegas Police Sgt. John Loretto said by telephone.

The former football star was questioned and released, Loretto said. He was not arrested.

Yale L. Galanter, a Florida-based attorney for Simpson, did not return repeated calls this morning for comment.

The memorabilia were in a hotel room in the casino Thursday night, police spokesman Jose Montoya said. Loretto would not describe the memorabilia, including what sport was involved.

"When they talked to him, Simpson made the comment that he believed the memorabilia was his," the Associated Press quoted Montoya as saying. "We're getting conflicting stories from the two sides."

Police said "associates of Simpson" were also questioned, according to the AP.

Simpson's turmoil comes a day after the family of Ron Goldman published a book about the slayings of Goldman and Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson. The two were killed in 1994 and Simpson was acquitted of criminal murder charges. He was found liable for their deaths in civil lawsuits.

The book was written by Simpson and originally titled "If I Did It," but after his publishing deals fell through, the Goldman family bought the rights to the book and subsequently published it under the new title "If I Did It: The Confessions of the Killer."

Simpson lives in Florida.

Las Vegas police scheduled a news conference for later today.

I think a racist cop planted the bloody Super Bowl ring...oh wait

The more that comes out on this the more it is looking like a sham. (meaning of sham = Patriots superbowl - oh wait that's another thread) Just another way for OJ to seek out attention. Today is the day the book "I killed my wife and am still looking for the real killer on the golf course" hit the stores.

I also heard that Belicheat was doing the recording....... but wasn't really going to use the tape as evidence against OJ!

it must all be a "mistake"

Interestingly...

Simpson says he was just getting his stuff back that was stolen.

You know... I bet... for some reason... that he is innocent... (this time).
