[3고급용] 6 'O.J. Simpson Arrested in Vegas Robbery'

'O.J. Simpson Arrested in Vegas Robbery'
Police arrested O.J. Simpson on Sunday,
saying he was part of an armed group
who burst into a Las Vegas hotel room
and snatched memorabilia
that documented his own sports career,
long ago eclipsed by scandal.
The arrest starts a new legal odyssey
for the fallen football star
who more than a decade ago was acquitted of
the slayings of his ex-wife and a friend,
and opens the possibility
he could spend decades behind bars.
Simpson was taken away
from The Palms casino-hotel
by plainclothes officers a day
after the arrest of a golfing buddy
who police say accompanied him with a gun
in the Thursday night holdup.
Handcuffed and wearing a golf shirt and jeans,
Simpson was placed in an SUV.
"He was very cooperative,
there were no issues,"
Capt. James Dillon said.
Simpson was to be booked
on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon,
two counts of assault with a deadly weapon,
conspiracy to commit burglary
and burglary with a firearm, police said.
The district attorney, meanwhile, said
he expected Simpson to ultimately be charged
with seven felonies and one gross misdemeanor.
If convicted of the booking charges,
Simpson would face up to 30 years in state prison
on each robbery count alone.
"He is facing a lot of time,"
said Clark County District Attorney David Roger.
Simpson, 60, has said
he and other people were retrieving items
that belonged to him.
Simpson has said there were no guns involved
and that he went to the room at the casino
only to get stolen mementos
that included his Hall of Fame certificate
and a picture of the running back
with J. Edgar Hoover.
Simpson told The Associated Press on Saturday
that he did not call the police
to help reclaim the items
because he has found the police unresponsive to him
ever since his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson,
and her friend, Ron Goldman, were killed in 1994.
"The police, since my trouble,
have not worked out for me," he said,
noting that whenever he has called the police
"It just becomes a story about O.J."
