O.J. Simpson is being accused of participating in a robbery at a Vegas casino hotel late Thursday night. According to some dude named Alfred Beardsley, Simpson and several other men stormed into his room and made away with a bunch of memorabilia, including the suit O.J. wore the day he was acquitted of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Via TMZ:
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 with 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 in the room when the six men entered.
O.J. has already been questioned by Vegas police but was not put under arrest. He is currently in a white Bronco being driven very slowly from Vegas back to L.A. No, I'm kidding. O.J. knows better than to use a white Bronco anymore - his new one is red.
I'll tell you, that O.J. can't catch a break can he? First he has these crazy white folks accusing him of slashing people's throats. He manages to squirm out of that one, but then they take all his money away in civil court. So he tries to make a few bucks by writing a book about how he would've killed Nicole and Ron had he actually done it, and everybody gets mad about that. And now he's got cops all up in his face just because he tried to get his old suit back? That's his suit damn it. He should be able to sell it, not that Beardsley guy. Whole thing's an injustice. A god damn injustice.

Update: Apparently O.J. has confessed to taking the memorabillia, which he claims is his property, but says he didn't break into the hotel room.
