O.J. Simpson To Face Felony Robbery Charges, Held Without Bail

Las Vegas police have arrested former football star O. J. Simpson and are preparing to charge him in connection with an alleged armed robbery. Police said yesterday that Simpson faces charges including robbery with a deadly weapon and assault with a deadly weapon. A judge has ordered Simpson held without bail.

Officers said Simpson, who was acquitted in the mid 90's on charges of killing his former wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, did not use a gun during the alleged robbery. But, police said guns were brandished when a group of people - including Simpson - burst into the hotel room of a sports souvenir collector on Thursday. The collector said Simpson and the other men demanded that he hand over memorabilia from Simpson's career.

Before his arrest, Simpson denied anyone in his group was carrying a gun and said he was in the hotel room to get back things that belonged to him. Police arrested another man on Saturday in connection with the incident and were looking for four other men.

My response: With that audiotape emerging (warning: there is a lot of cussin'), it ain't lookin' good for O.J.
