Simpson to be Charged with Robbery, Assault, Burglary

O.J. Simpson will be charged with a total of six counts of robbery, assault, burglary and conspiracy following his arrest in connection with an alleged hotel break-in.

Las Vegas police announced today that Simpson has been booked in a Las Vegas jail and is cooperating with authorities.

The most serious charge – robbery with use of a deadly weapon – could bring a sentence of three to 35 years in prison for each count, an official tells the Associated Press.

Simpson was arrested at 11:00 a.m. this morning on charges related to the armed robbery of sports memorabilia in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas police officers also arrested 46-year-old Walter Alexander on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary with a deadly weapon.

Two weapons have been seized, and police said that as many as six others could face arrest in connection with the alleged robbery.

The arrests stem from an incident last Thursday at the Palace Station casino in Vegas, where Simpson and a group of men reportedly stormed a hotel room and stole sports memorabilia.

Simpson told the AP it was a “sting operation” and he was recovering items that were taken from him.

a jury of his peers found him not guilty of murder,because his name is oj and he is of a different race people continue to try to destroy what ever life he has left,if his first name was not oj would anyone care?maybe because his personal stuff will allways be worth something all the money hungry people out there time and time again try to grab what ever moneys they can,instead of wasting there time why dont they go to work and make there own money!!!!!!like oj did !!!

OJ is as irritating and egotistical as Rosie,Paris Hilton, Alec Baldwin and the Clinton’s combined. PLEASE let justice finally be served!

Why do I get the feeling that Mr. Simpson will do his stupid media manipulation b.s.
behind bars yet again?!?!!??!
He did that garbage in 1995, during that stupid media circus lame-o criminal trial/publicity stunt crap stuff, in which everybody and their brother(especially Mr. Simpson himself—behind bars!)capitalized on his crime slime, so why does he have to do that same bulls—- all over again 12 years later?!?!?!?!?!

The world must be well with much of white america tonight…

Not only does the very mediocre and incredibly spiteful Katherine Heigl get rewarded for helping take Isiah Washington down, but O.J Simpson is in jail on trumped up charges;

White america must be pretty thrilled and feeling extremely gratified tonight…sticking it to them and putting those arrogant black men in their places finally!!

could oj just be fed up with everyone trying to take his stuff he worked so hard for? especiallly mr goldman,the name itself says it all! there are thousands of murders a year and he is the only person trying to get rich off of oj tradgedy,many people have lost thier loved ones,why is he wasting his life trying to get oj money?if he truly believes oj did it than he should be like other parents with murder children and help to change the laws and the system,or is it just the money now that drives him !!

i do not blame oj for finally letting loose on everyone who tryed to make a profit on his family tragedy!i never believed he commited nicole murder or rons i think oj ame after the murders and did leave some evidance but i also think this was over drugs and when he came to nicoles house and found the two dead he ran scared for his life!i think its impossible for oj to have stab his wife that many times,what was ron doing i think it took at least two if not three to caouse this tragic deaths one man could not have pulled this off,with a gun yes,not with multipal stabs to each of them,the other could have time to sream or run from the scene,it just does not add up!
