O.J. Simpson questioned in Vegas hotel break-in
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Las Vegas police said on Friday they had questioned O.J. Simpson about a hotel room break-in, but the former football star was not taken into custody.
A police spokeswoman said the matter was still under investigation and declined to offer further details.
Celebrity Web site TMZ.com, citing unidentified sources, said several men broke into a memorabilia dealer’s room on Thursday night and held the dealer at gunpoint while they took memorabilia once owned by Simpson and other sports stars.
Simpson was among the men, according to the story on TMZ.com. The details could not be confirmed.
The report of a break-in and Simpson’s possible involvement comes the same his ghost-written book, “If I Did It,” hit retail shelves.
The book includes a chapter in which Simpson gives a hypothetical account of how he might have killed his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, in June 1994.
Simpson was acquitted of the murders in 1995 at the end of a sensational criminal trial in Los Angeles. But a California jury later ruled in a civil suit brought by the victims’ families that he was responsible for their deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in damages.
The former Heisman trophy winner and professional football star for the Buffalo Bills now lives in Florida.
