O.J. Simpson Arrested in Armed Robbery of Las Vegas Hotel Room

LAS VEGAS — O.J. Simpson was arrested Sunday on charges related to the armed robbery of Simpson sports memorabilia from a Las Vegas hotel room, Las Vegas police said Sunday.

Lead investigator Lt. Clint Nichols said Sunday that Simpson, 60, had played a “substantial role” in the incident and that in earlier interviews with the police, Simpson had provided information that “changed the course of the investigation.”

Nichols said Simpson was taken into custody at the Las Vegas hotel where Simpson was staying without incident. Several police officers were seen entering the hotel; a security guard said police took Simpson out a side door shortly after. Bail is expected to be set later Sunday.

Earlier Sunday, Las Vegas police seized two firearms and arrested another man allegedly involved in the robbery, authorities said Sunday.
