O.J. Simpson Questioned in Break-In
By JOHN HOLUSHA
Published: September 14, 2007
Police investigators in Las Vegas contacted former football star O.J. Simpson early today in connection with a break-in of a casino hotel room, according to Captain James Dillon of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Mr. Simpson was not arrested, but is reportedly remaining in the city pending the outcome of the investigation.
Captain Dillon said in a televised news conference that a break-in was reported at the Palace Station casino late Thursday night, and someone at the hotel alleged that Mr. Simpson was part of a group that invaded the room and took items described as “sports related objects.”
The person lodging the charges against Mr. Simpson said a weapon was displayed, Captain Dillon said. But the police officer said that no weapon had not yet been recovered. Mr. Simpson said the items belonged to him, police said.
Captain Dillon said the investigation was in its “infancy,” no charges had been filed and no one was in custody.
