khaosworksOJ Simpson arrested over break-in
Ex-American football star OJ Simpson has been arrested by Las Vegas police investigating an alleged armed robbery at a casino hotel room.
The incident occurred at the Palace Station Casino late on Thursday.
Police were called there after a man thought to be a memorabilia dealer reported being robbed by armed men, one of whom he said was OJ Simpson.
Mr Simpson says he and others went to the hotel to recover items belonging to him, but denies any guns were involved.
Police say two guns were confiscated during a raid on a house in the Las Vegas area. At least one other man is in custody.
A police spokesman said Mr Simpson could face charges including robbery with a deadly weapon and conspiracy to commit robbery.
Book rights
Mr Simpson was tried and acquitted in 1995 of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman on 12 June 1994.
Mr Simpson was later found liable for the deaths in a civil trial and ordered to pay $33.5m (£17m) in damages - money that has never been collected.
In July, the rights to Mr Simpson's book If I Did It were awarded to Mr Goldman's family to help cover the judgement.
The book, in which Mr Simpson describes how he would have killed his ex-wife and her friend, was published in the US on Thursday by Beaufort Books.
The publication followed months of legal wrangling after Rupert Murdoch's companies cancelled plans to publish the book following a public outcry last year.
