OJ arrested.....again!

You may have heard last week that OJ was being investigate for robbery in Las Vegas. O.J. Simpson has now been arrested Sunday and faces multiple felony charges in an alleged armed robbery of collectors involving the former football great's sports memorabilia, authorities said. Simpson was arrested shortly after 11 a.m., Capt. James Dillon said. The charges against Simpson will include robbery with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary with a firearm, all felonies, Dillon said. More charges could be brought against him, he said.

Simpson, 60, has said he and other people with him 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.

It is too bad this arrest went down without a police chase. When I flipped on the news today, I was hoping to see a white Bronco speeding out of SinCity followed by a dozen cop cars. Then when OJ and Cowlings crossed the Hoover Dam, OJ jumps off and parachutes down to a waiting boat ready to jet him away to safety, with goods in hand. Where's Johnnie Cochran when you need him?
