Along with five of his friends, O.J. Simpson allegedly robbed a memorabilia dealer at gunpoint at the Palace Station Hotel in Las Vegas last night, stealing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. TMZ says:

Alfred Beardsley, a memorabilia dealer, had secured various items once owned by Simpson. Beardsley has said he had 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 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." (Source)

Somewhere in hell Johnny Cochran is screaming, "NOOOOOOOO!" But seriously, I'm sure this is all just a big misunderstanding. O.J was probably rummaging through the dresser drawers of that hotel room looking for the real killers. That, or he was looking for a new set of cutlery. Before we pass judgment though, shouldn't we give O.J the benefit of the doubt? My god he rushed for 2,003 yards in 1973--he's at least earned that!
