OJ Questioned in Casino Robbery

On this day when his confession is published in book form, OJ Simpson is being questioned by police in Las Vegas in connection with a robbery at a casino:

LAS VEGAS -- Metro police confirmed early Friday morning that O.J. Simpson is being investigated for robbery at the Palace Station Casino.

The incident happened late Thursday night, police said.

The Palace Station complex, located near the Vegas strip, includes a 430-room Courtyard Hotel and a 21-story hotel tower with 500 rooms and suites. The casino is open around the clock. It is not clear whether the incident happened in a guest room or inside the casino.

Simpson is not in police custody; however he was being questioned early Friday morning about the incident.

Not many details yet, but this could get interesting.

UPDATE - More details:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Las Vegas police questioned O.J. Simpson after a memorabilia dealer told them the former football star and murder defendant robbed him at gunpoint in a Las Vegas casino hotel room, police and other sources said on Friday.

Simpson was questioned about Thursday night's hotel room confrontation but was not taken into custody, a Las Vegas police spokeswoman said.

The spokeswoman said the matter was still under investigation and declined to provide further details before a news conference scheduled for later on Friday.

A lawyer for Fred Goldman, the father of one of two people Simpson was accused of stabbing to death in 1994, said the sports memorabilia dealer, Alfred Beardsley, had reported the robbery to police.

"I was told by Mr. Beardsley that he was robbed at gunpoint by O.J. Simpson in a hotel room in Las Vegas," said Goldman lawyer David Cook. "He has given a report to the Las Vegas police."

Beardsley confirmed to Reuters that he had filed a police report about the altercation. He said detectives had asked him not to speak to reporters while the investigation was under way.

UPDATE 2 - From Drudge:

KFI's John Ziegler quotes alleged victim, Alfred Beardsley: "O.J. told me, 'If this happened in L.A. you'd be dead already'"... MORE... "They were black goons, a bunch of gang-bangers. Two of them had guns drawn. They took a bunch of game balls, awards that he had won. Over 200 signed photos. And by accident he took a bunch of Joe Montana memorabilia." Developing...

I think I see another white Bronco chase about to happen.
