Las Vegas police confirmed today that OJ Simpson is a suspect in an alleged break in and robbery at an area hotel room. Alfred Beardsley, a memorabilia dealer, claimed OJ and five other men barged into his hotel room at Palace Station Hotel last night and took several items while holding him at gunpoint. Among the items taken was the suit OJ wore the day he was acquitted of murder.
Beardsley tells TMZ he had arranged to meet with someone last night who was interested in buying the suit and other Simpson memorabilia. Beardsley says the man was actually a member of Simpson’s crew. He says the men stormed the room, two of them had guns drawn.
Beardsley says the men claimed to be police officers. OJ and others demanded that Beardsley and two other men surrender their cell phones. Beardsley refused to do so. Beardsley says the group stole every piece of memorabilia in the room, including items signed by Joe Montana. They also took a case of never-released leather editions of Simpson’s book, “I Want to Tell You.”
Beardsley told TMZ he was uneasy about the arranged meeting and did not have the suit of clothes in the room when the six men entered.
Beardsley says he made a 911 call, and cops subsequently obtained a search warrant for the room. CSI investigators took Beardsley’s phone and took DNA samples and photos of his body. Beardsley says one of the guys roughed him up.
Police claimed they questioned OJ, but did not place him under custody. An active robbery investigation is currently underway.

He thinks he’s invincible now, and I’d love to see someone prove him wrong.
Jackass.

He should have considered himself the luckiest guy in the world, and left it at that. I hope he finds his special place in hell. in the mean time, I hope he finds incontinence in his old age.

I wonder if Pedro Guerrero is somehow involved in this. Probably not, but I just like the name Pedro Guerrero. It’s fun to say it out loud. Say it. It’s fun.

So, yeah, living in Las Vegas, like I do, this is the only thing they talked about on the news, on the radio etc. all damn day.
They’ve since released “the Juice” but, are looking for all of the stuff to give back. Apparently the guy got it all in the first place because OJ owed him money, and “paid” him in memorabilia. That’s because this fuck wad has decided not to work anymore so the victims of his crime won’t ever get paid. He’s an asshole and I hope he dies soon. I’m tired of seeing his smug face.
