The Juice Is Squeezed in Vegas

OJ Simpson is being investigated in relation to a robbery at a Las Vegas casino - although it is possible he was reclaiming items that were originally his.

Las Vegas police confirmed early Friday morning that O.J. Simpson has been questioned after someone alleged that he was involved in a theft at Palace Station casino.

The person alleged that sports memorabilia had been stolen, but neither Simpson nor several others who were questioned have been arrested or charged in connection with the incident, said police spokesman Jose Montoya.

FOX5 News has interviewed a man, Thomas Riccio, who claims to have witnessed the incident which sparked the allegations. Riccio said he works for Universal Rarities, an auction house based in California, and that a customer had contacted him about one month and claimed to have "personal possessions" that had belonged to O.J. Simpson. The customer claimed to have confiscated the items from Simpson because Simpson owed them money, Riccio told FOX5 News.

Riccio said he had met O.J. Simpson previously and contacted him about the items. "He had said that it was stolen from him," Riccio said.

Riccio said he met with the potential customer Thursday night in a Palace Station hotel room. While surveying the items, Riccio said Simpson entered the room with several others and reclaimed the items in question. While someone reported the act as a theft, Riccio implied that Simpson believed the items were rightfully his own. Simpson did not use force when entering the room and was unarmed, and never acted violently during the ordeal, Riccio said.

The primary reason OJ Simpson was found not guilty for the murder of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown was Johnnie Cochran's legal wizardry and the famous line: "If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit." That's precisely what the jury did.

Johnnie Cochran passed away in 2005.

While OJ hasn't been arrested as yet, the situation is certainly murky. Simpson claims that the items were stolen from him and he simply reclaimed them. Law enforcement will have to sort things out and will have to determine whether the items in question were in the rightful possession of the other person and whether Simpson was within his rights.
