O.J Simpson arrested over casino robbery

O.J Simpson has been arrested in connection with an alleged armed robbery at a Las Vegas casino involving items of sports memorabilia.

The former American football star, who was acquitted in one of the biggest murder trials in US history, was picked up by police around 11am on charges relating to the incident at the Palace Station casino last Thursday.

A group of armed men said to include Simpson allegedly stormed into a hotel room and snatched sporting memorabilia from two dealers waiting to meet a client.

advertisementAlfred Beardsley, a collector of sports memorabilia, told the website TMZ that he called police after the men entered pretending to be customers. He said Simpson, 60, had demanded items he claimed were his and the men left with the items.

The former sports star, who lives in Florida, has denied any wrongdoing and claimed he was conducting his own "sting" operation to recover items that belonged to him.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times yesterday, he said he and some "golfing buddies" had gone to the hotel to reclaim personal possessions, including sports souvenirs and photographs allegedly taken by Nicole Brown-Simpson, his ex-wife who he was accused of murdering in 1994.

"I'm not walking around feeling sad or anything. I've done nothing wrong," he said. "I'm having a great time."

According to US reports, another man, Walter Alexander, 46, of Arizona, was arrested on Saturday and charged with armed robbery in connection with the incident. Two to four other men were being sought, police said.
