LAS VEGAS - Investigators questioned O.J. Simpson and named him a suspect Friday in a break-in at a casino hotel room involving sports memorabilia.

The break-in was reported at the Palace Station casino late Thursday night, police spokesman Jose Montoya said. He said investigators determined the break-in involved sports collectibles.

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

Simpson was released after he and several associates were questioned, but he 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 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.

On Thursday, the Goldman family published a book about the killings that Simpson had written under the title, "If I Did It." After a deal for Simpson to publish it fell through, the family bought the rights and retitled the book "If I Did It: The Confessions of a Killer."

Investigators in the casino case planned to give their report to prosecutors Friday, Montoya said. The district attorney's office will decide whether to pursue charges.

Simpson 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.

Patricia Jones, a woman at the Florida office of Simpson attorney Yale L. Galanter who identified herself as Galanter's associate, said Galanter was out of town and had been forwarded messages seeking comment.

The Palace Station, an aging property just west of the Las Vegas Strip, is one of several Station Casinos-owned resorts that cater to locals. The 1,000-room hotel-casino, with a 21-story tower and adjacent buildings, opened in 1976.

A company spokeswoman did not immediately return a call for comment.

Congrats vorlos - great timing.


Like the Gman says, the nigger nature is always ready to make is appearance no matter how big an famous a nigger we gots the eye on! Big or small, light or dark, old or young, rich or poor, looks like there’s no such thing as a good nigger.

What a dumb boon this oj turd is. Gets away with murder, gets to keep his money, and gets involved in what amounts to a jigaboo stickup.

This coon is long overdue to be a tree decoration.

Police Comment On O.J. Theft Allegations
Former Football Star Not In Custody :mad:

POSTED: 9:16 am EDT September 14, 2007
UPDATED: 4:10 pm EDT September 14, 2007

LAS VEGAS -- The Las Vegas Police Department said that O.J. Simpson is cooperating in an investigation of a hotel theft involving sports memorabilia that allegedly belonged to the former pro football star.

Police department Captain James Dillon said in a news conference Friday that the incident was reported as an "armed robbery."

"We have reported from the victim that there were weapons involved," Dillon said.

He said that no weapons were recovered and he stressed that the investigation is in its "infancy."

No charges have been filed and no one is in custody. Dillon said that Simpson is "not restricted in any form" and can leave the city if he wishes.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Simpson said that he went to the room to get memorabilia that belonged to him, but he said he didn't break in. He also told the AP that no weapons were used.

Simpson said that he was conducting a "sting operation" :lol: to collect his belongings when he was escorted into the room at the Palace Station casino.

A memorabilia collector who claims to be the victim in the casino told the Web site TMZ.com that Simpson and two men came into his room to take the suit that Simpson wore when he was acquitted for murder.

The man, Alfred Beardsley, also told TMZ that two men who were with Simpson pulled guns upon entering the room.

The Palace Station complex, located near the Vegas strip, includes a 430-room Courtyard Hotel and a 21-story hotel tower with 500 rooms and suites. The casino is open around the clock.

Simpson's account is similar to a Las Vegas television station KVVU interview with a man, Thomas Riccio, who claims to have witnessed the incident that sparked the allegations.

Riccio said he works for Universal Rarities, an auction house based in California, and that a customer had contacted him recently and said he had personal items that had belonged to Simpson.

The customer claimed to have confiscated the items from Simpson because the former football star owed them money, Riccio said.

Riccio said he had met Simpson previously and contacted him about the items.

"He had said that it was stolen from him," Riccio said.

Simpson, perhaps believing the items were still rightfully his own, walked into a hotel room at Palace Station on Thursday night along with several other people and reclaimed the items in question, Riccio added.

Riccio claimed that Simpson did not use force when entering the room and was unarmed, and never acted violently during the ordeal.

Police said Simpson has been released and is believed to be in Las Vegas. He was supposed to give a deposition Friday in Miami in a bankruptcy case involving his eldest daughter.

It was canceled because Simpson had told attorneys that he would be out of town.

The alleged incident comes a day after the father and sister of Ronald Goldman told Oprah Winfrey that they seized control of Simpson's book, "If I Did It," to punish the man they believe killed their loved one.

Fred Goldman and his daughter, Kim, appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" Thursday to discuss their decision to publish the book -- which they renamed "If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer."

Simpson was acquitted in 1995 of killing his ex-wife, Nicole, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.

A federal bankruptcy judge awarded rights to the book to Goldman's family to help satisfy a $38 million wrongful death judgment against Simpson.

The book was released Thursday. It is currently the No. 2 seller on Amazon.com.

Promoting the book on Fox News Friday, Fred Goldman said of the Las Vegas allegations, "It couldn't have happened to a worse human being." :tongue:

Simpson's Home Searched By FBI

Search Part Of Investigation Into Ecstasy Drug Ring, Money Laundering - December 4, 2001


Law enforcement agents searched the home of ex-football star O.J. Simpson in a Miami suburb Tuesday, arriving before dawn to comb through the house in what the FBI said was an investigation related to a suspected ecstasy ring.

Simpson has not been arrested or indicted.

Agents arrived at about 6 a.m. and Simpson was at home. In a shot from a television helicopter, Simpson could be seen walking in the backyard in a bathrobe. About two hours after agents arrived, Simpson left the home alone in his sports utility vehicle without talking to reporters.

Judy Orihuela, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Miami office, said she could give no details of why Simpson's house was searched or what agents were looking for. "He's not named in the indictment and he's not been arrested," she said.

The U.S. Attorney's Office had no comment yet on the case.

Simpson attorney Yale Galanter arrived at the house and spoke to agents for about 15 minutes. He later spoke to reporters saying, "Mr. Simpson and I fully cooperated with the investigation." He said no illegal drugs where found in the house or in Simpson's car, and said that his client was not involved in money laundering.

Simpson, 54, who parlayed a spectacular run in the National Football League into a career as a sportscaster, TV pitchman and actor, was charged in 1994 with the slashing deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. He was acquitted after a lengthy criminal trial but was later found liable for their deaths in a civil case and ordered to pay $33 million.

Just six weeks ago, he was acquitted in a road rage case, found not guilty by a Miami jury of auto burglary and battery in a case that could have landed him in prison for up to 16 years.

His October trial involved an incident in which Simpson was accused of grabbing another driver's glasses and scratching his face in a traffic dispute in Kendall last year.

The FBI said the search by the FBI, Miami police and agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration, which included sniffer dogs, was related to a suspected drug ring that allegedly brought ecstasy pills from Europe into Miami's club scene. Eleven people were indicted in the case Tuesday.

Orihuela said the group stole equipment used to counterfeit cards that activate satellite television receivers. She also said the ring laundered about $800,000.

Orihuela said that of those indicted, nine had been arrested and were in custody and two were at large, one in south Florida and the other in Brazil.

A 10th person who was not named in the indictment but who was with one of the suspects, was also arrested, she said.

In addition to Simpson's home, searches were taking place in eight other places in the Miami area, Orihuela said.

Two of those arrested were detained in Chicago, one of them with $75,000 in cash on him. Another of the people arrested was detained in the Miami area Monday night after allegedly offering to sell an undercover gent a batch of 8,000 ecstasy pills. The pills are worth about $5 each wholesale and $20 on the street.

Most of those indicted were from the United States, but two were from Brazil, Orihuela said.


An Ecstasy dealer supplied the illegal party drug to retired football star O.J. Simpson and six other people, an FBI agent testified Monday at the trial of an Ohio developer.

Five of them, but not Simpson, received the pills in amounts indicating they were distributing them, FBI agent Chris Piersza testified during the federal drug trial of Mark Nowakowski. Simpson received smaller amounts, Piersza said.

Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, denied his client received even a single Ecstasy pill from the admitted dealer, Andrew Anderson, who was known to Simpson as Adrian Burke.

"If any FBI agent is claiming that O.J. Simpson actually took possession of any narcotic at all, he is greatly mistaken," Galanter said. "He never ever ever ever got an Ecstasy pill from Adrian Burke, ever."

Anderson, Nowakowski and seven others were indicted last November on Ecstasy distribution conspiracy charges. Simpson was not indicted, but his house was searched by the FBI the following month as part of an ongoing investigation.

Nowakowski, of Toledo, Ohio, could face a 20-year prison sentence if convicted of conspiring with intent to distribute Ecstasy.

Co-defendants John Thorburn and Anderson pleaded guilty rather than go to trial. Thorburn testified he was the middleman in the sale of Ecstasy obtained from Anderson and sold at cost to Nowakowski.

According to transcripts of wiretapped phone calls, Anderson once said he left his Ecstasy supply in his car at Simpson's suburban Miami house. In another call the same day, Anderson said young women were taking pictures as he, Simpson and Simpson's teen-age son Justin walked down Ocean Drive, the tourist-clogged center of South Beach.

Prosecutor Tony Gonzalez conceded Nowakowski was not selling the party drug, but said he did not need to be making a profit to be guilty of distribution conspiracy.

Nowakowski made calls to Thorburn's tapped cellular phone while the developer was taking a South Beach vacation last year that lasted several months, Gonzalez said in his opening statement.

Nowakowski was introduced to Thorburn, the target of a federal cellular phone wiretap, by a friend name Tommy Barone, Gonzalez said. Taped calls indicated the three men became partners in Ecstasy purchases, he said.

"The three of them would get together to see how many pills they could buy to get a better price," Gonzalez said. Quantities quickly jumped from 2 to 20, then 50 and 100 pills, he said.

The defense exercised its right to make its opening statement after the prosecution rests.

Anderson planned to testify for the prosecution in exchange for a chance at a lenient sentence. During jury selection, defense attorney Ed O'Donnell implied that Anderson would lie to get leniency.
 
Re: Simpson named suspect in casino break-in

OJ Is In The Can!

O.J. Simpson was arrested Sunday and faces multiple felony charges in an alleged armed robbery of collectors involving the former football great's sports memorabilia, authorities said.

Prosecutors were planning to charge Simpson with two counts of robbery with use of a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, burglary with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and coercion, said Clark County District Attorney David Roger.

A conviction on the most serious charge, robbery with use of a deadly weapon, could bring a sentence of three to 35 years for each count, he said.

"He is facing a lot of time," Roger said.

Simpson was transferred to a detention center for booking Sunday evening, Dillon said. Dillon said he did not know whether Simpson would be able to post bail and be released Sunday.

"He was very cooperative, there were no issues," Dillon said.

At least one other person has been arrested and police said Sunday that they were searching for four others in connection with the alleged armed robbery that occurred in a room inside the Palace Station casino-hotel on Thursday.

Police Lt. Clint Nichols said Simpson invoked his right to an attorney immediately after being arrested.

Simpson, 60, has said he and other people with him were retrieving items that belonged to him. Simpson has said there were no guns involved and that he went to the room at the casino only to get stolen mementos that included his Hall of Fame certificate and a picture of the running back with J. Edgar Hoover.

Simpson told The Associated Press on Saturday that he did not call the police to help reclaim the items because he has found the police unresponsive to him ever since his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, were killed in 1994.

"The police, since my trouble, have not worked out for me," he said, noting that whenever he has called the police "It just becomes a story about O.J."

The Heisman Trophy winner, ex-NFL star and actor lives near Miami and has been a tabloid staple since his ex-wife and 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.

Police said two firearms and other evidence were seized at a private residence early Sunday.

Walter Alexander, 46, of Arizona, was arrested Saturday night on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary with a deadly weapon.

He was released without bail on Saturday night, Dillon said.

Besides the two firearms, police said they seized other evidence during early morning searches of two residences, Lt. Clint Nichols said.

"It was evidence of a crime that was committed," Nichols said. "And I believe we recovered some clothing that the individual was wearing in the commission of the robbery."

Simpson said auction house owner Tom Riccio called him several weeks ago to say some collectors were selling some of his items. Riccio set up a meeting with collectors under the guise that he had a private collector interested in buying Simpson's items.

Simpson said he was accompanied by several men he met at a wedding cocktail party, and they took the collectibles.

Alfred Beardsley, one of the sports memorabilia collectors involved in the alleged robbery, has said he wants the case dropped and that he's "on O.J.'s side."

Nichols said police had a responsibility to investigate how the collectibles were taken, regardless of who they belong to.

"We don't believe that anybody was roughed up, but there were firearms involved in the commission of the robbery," he said.

O.J. Confrontation -- Caught on Tape!

TMZ has obtained an audio tape of O.J. Simpson's confrontation with a sports memorabilia dealer that led to his arrest on felony robbery charges. In it, you hear someone say, "You against the motherf*****g wall."

The tape was recorded by Thomas Riccio, who co-owns the auction house Universal Rarities. Riccio met up with Simpson just before the confrontation at the Palace Station Casino on Thursday night.

We're told Riccio was on hand to help Simpson prove certain memorabilia being auctioned by Alfred Beardsley was ill-gotten. Riccio says he believed Simpson was going to confront Beardsley in the hotel room to give him an ultimatum -- either hand over the goods or Simpson would call the cops.

Riccio turned his Olympus digital voice recorder on before the group entered the room -- a group that included Simpson and four other men. Almost immediately, Simpson went wild, hurling profanities at Beardsley and another memorabilia dealer, Bruce Fromong.

The confrontation lasts six minutes. It is graphic and telling. Simpson is clearly the ringleader. Simpson repeatedly says, "Think you can steal my s**t and sell it?"

We're told Riccio also recorded the police interview with Beardsley and Fromong. Riccio also claims he has audio of Beardsley and Fromong conceding they didn't have a right to the memorabilia. Riccio also says he has audio of Bruce Fromong saying he helped Simpson hide money in offshore accounts.

And there's this: Riccio's partner, Jeff Woolf, says Simpson left a message on Riccio's cellphone trying to convince him that there was no gun involved in the robbery.

Chimpson facing new charges

OJ Simpson facing new charges

New charges were laid against troubled former sports star OJ Simpson today in the wake of two co-defendants agreeing to give evidence against him.

Simpson, 60, already faced charges of kidnapping, armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon over an incident in a Las Vegas hotel in which he is accused of forcibly trying to retrieve sports memorabilia from two dealers.

He is now also accused of conspiring with the other defendants in a lie that no guns were used.

Simpson, Clarence Stewart, Michael McClinton and Charles Ehrlich face a total of 12 charges.

The new charges were not laid against Walter Alexander and Charles Cashmore, who pleaded guilty to lesser offences in a deal and are due to testify against the others at a preliminary hearing next month.

Simpson has said no guns were brought to the room and he did not tell anyone to bring guns.

The revised series of charges outline two theories of kidnapping: one in which Simpson, Stewart, McClinton and Ehrlich are accused of using trickery to lure the dealers to a hotel room for an armed robbery, and one in which they brought and displayed guns to prevent the men from leaving.

Cashmore and Alexander are expected to be key witnesses for the prosecution at the preliminary hearing.
 
Nigger OJ Simpson Arrested AGAIN!

O.J. Simpson held on bail violation
KEN RITTER, Associated Press Writer




O.J. Simpson is in custody in Florida on allegations that he violated terms of his release on bail by calling one of his co-defendants in a Las Vegas armed robbery case, a court official said Friday.

Prosecutors allege that Simpson, identifying himself as "Miguel," telephoned Clarence "C.J." Stewart on Nov. 16 and expressed frustration with Stewart's testimony at a preliminary hearing, court spokesman Michael Sommermeyer said.

That was two days after a Las Vegas justice of the peace ruled that Simpson, Stewart and another co-defendant should stand trial on 12 charges, including kidnapping and robbery.

Clark County District Attorney David Roger was filing a motion Friday to revoke Simpson's bail, according to a court clerk.

Simpson was to go before a judge Wednesday.

"We understand he's in the custody of his bail bondsman in Florida right now and will be brought to Las Vegas for the hearing," said Elana Pitaro, a clerk for District Court Judge Jackie Glass.

A bail bondsman at You Ring We Spring bail bonds in North Las Vegas declined to comment.:xlaugh:

Simpson was freed Sept. 19 on $125,000 bail following his arrest on allegations he and several friends burst into a Las Vegas hotel room and robbed two sports memorabilia dealers at gunpoint.

Simpson has maintained that he was retrieving items that belonged to him. He and the two other men are scheduled to stand trial April 7.

His lawyer, Yale Galanter, did not return phone messages seeking comment.

Nigger OJ's Bail DOUBLED by Judge! Why any bail at ALL?

Rick Wilking
1 hour, 32 minutes ago



LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - A Las Vegas judge doubled the bail on Wednesday for former football star O.J. Simpson, who spent the weekend back behind bars for trying to contact a defendant in his armed robbery case.

r1324025096.jpg


Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass set bail at $250,000 for Simpson, who was famously acquitted in 1995 of murdering his ex-wife and could now face life in prison if convicted of leading a robbery last year to get back his own sports memorabilia.

Glass scolded Simpson for arrogance or ignorance and told him to put his Florida home up as additional surety. She said he would not be released until she had legal papers confirming he had done so.

Glass ruled Simpson, 60, had violated the terms of bail set in November at $125,000 when he left a profanity laced telephone message for one of his co-defendants with his bail bondsman.

The message, which Simpson's lawyers said they did not dispute, was seen as a bid to dissuade the co-defendant from cooperating with authorities.

Simpson and two co-defendants, Clarence "CJ" Stewart and Charles Ehrlich, face trial in April on a dozen charges, including kidnapping and armed robbery. Simpson is accused of leading a group of men who stormed into a Las Vegas hotel room and took sports memorabilia at gunpoint from two collectors.

Defense lawyers argued Simpson went to the hotel only to recover his stolen belongings and did not have a gun.

'ARROGANCE...IGNORANCE'

Glass said on Wednesday that Simpson had been told clearly not to try to contact any defendant before the trial, either directly or indirectly.

"I don't know, Mr Simpson, what the heck you were thinking," Glass told him. "I don't know if it's just arrogance or ignorance .... or both."

Prosecutors asked for Simpson to be held behind bars until his trial or for new bail of at least $1 million.

But Simpson's lawyer, Yale Galanter, said Simpson was neither a danger to the community nor a flight risk, noting that he "cannot even walk out of his front door without TV cameras following him."

"Mr Simpson is truly contrite about what has occurred," Galanter told the judge.

Simpson was taken into custody on Friday in Florida, where he now lives, and flown to Las Vegas where he was locked up until Wednesday's court hearing.

Simpson, who parlayed his fame as an athlete into a career in Hollywood, was acquitted of the June 12, 1994, murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman after a sensational Los Angeles trial.

A civil court jury later found Simpson liable for the deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in damages to the victims' families, a judgment that remains largely unpaid.
