HOLLYWOOD - Former football star O.J. Simpson has been questioned by Las Vegas police in relation to a casino hotel break-in.
The incident took place on Thursday night at the Palace Station Casino, where hotel bosses reported sports memorabilia had been taken from one of the suites.
Simpson's alleged level of involvement in the robbery has not been disclosed and he has not been charged with any crime.
His Florida lawyer, Yale L. Galanter, has yet to comment on his client's whereabouts, although police spokesman Jose Montoya says the star is believed to still be in Las Vegas.
The ex-NFL star was due to give a court deposition on Friday in Miami in his eldest daughter's bankruptcy case, but cancelled the appearance because he was out of town.
Simpson was famously acquitted in 1995 of the 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, but was found liable for their deaths in a civil trial in 1996.
He further hit headlines earlier this year with the publishing of his controversial tome If I Did It, which hypothetically places him at the scene of the murders.
