This will be an interesting story to watch:
Metro police confirmed early Friday morning that O.J. Simpson is being investigated in connection with a 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.
NOTE: TMV columnist Shaun Mullen covered the O.J. Simpson trial when he worked for Knight-Ridder newspapers. If this story develops and doesn’t fizzle he may have some thoughts and insights..
This is an early report and note that details are sketchy. But since it’s about O.J., it is a notable story..
