O.J. Simpson after being questioned by police as a possible suspect in a theft at a casino.
That was the other day. Just a few hours ago, Las Vegas police have arrested O.J. Simpson. The exact charges are as yet unclear, or unannounced. But given an associate who was involved in this theft (where O.J. was allegedly present) has already been arrested and charged with felony robbery, burglary, and assault with a deadly weapon while trying to obtain or reclaim sports memorabilia that O.J. says is rightfully his, it's safe to say a conspiracy charge is enroute to O.J.'s mailbox.
The victim, Alfred Beardsley, told TMZ it was an attempted robbery of items he rightfully owned or had legal possession of. Thomas Riccio, the auctioneer who tipped O.J. off about Beardsley's possession of these items, says he escorted O.J. to Beardsley's suite, alleging to buy the suit O.J. wore when he was acquitted at the criminal trial, and then demanded his stuff. He says no one, including O.J., had a gun or any other weapons, but then another person or two came in, and at least one of them was brandishing a gun. Riccio and O.J. both say it was a misunderstanding and no criminal intent was garnered by them.
It appears to be a quick arrest. Do they have a case? We'll see, stay tuned for more breaking news on this story.
