Allegations of guns used in robbery
OJ to be held without bail
Total jail time could be 106 years

OJ Simpson has been arrested after an armed group allegedly burst into a Las Vegas hotel room and snatched memorabilia that documented his sports career.

The arrest yesterday started a new legal odyssey for the fallen football star and actor who more than a decade ago was acquitted of the slayings of his ex-wife and a friend, and raises 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 friend, Walter Alexander, 46, who police say accompanied him with a gun in the hold-up on Thursday night.

Handcuffed and wearing a golf shirt and jeans, Simpson was placed in an 4WD. A judge ordered that he be held without bail. "He was very co-operative. There were no issues," Captain James Dillon said.

Simpson was being held at the Clark County Detention Centre on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit a crime and burglary with a firearm, police said.

The district attorney said he expected Simpson to be ultimately charged with seven felonies and one gross misdemeanour. He could face up to 30 years in prison on each robbery count alone.

Simpson, 60, has said no guns were involved and that he and other people went to the room at the casino to get stolen mementos, including his Hall of Fame certificate and a picture of him with legendary FBI head J.Edgar Hoover.

Simpson said he did not ask police to help reclaim the items because he had found the force unresponsive to him since his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman were killed in 1994.

Police did not allege that Simpson carried a weapon in the incident.

Mr Alexander was arrested on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary with a deadly weapon. He was released without bail.

"Walter was one of the two subjects who had a gun," Captain Dillon said. Police were also seeking four other men over the incident.

Simpson has been infamous since his ex-wife and Goldman were killed. He was acquitted of murder charges, but a jury later held him liable for the killings in a wrongful death lawsuit.

Goldman`s father, Fred Goldman, welcomed the possibility that Simpson could go to prison. "He`s believed for years, decades, that he`s entitled to do anything he wants, and the legal system and society has basically agreed with him," Mr Goldman said. "This time, hopefully, he`ll get what he deserves. He`ll get jail time."

Simpson said auction house owner Tom Riccio had told him collectors were selling his items. Mr Riccio set up a meeting with the collectors under the guise that he had a buyer interested in the items.

Simpson said he was accompanied by several men he met at a wedding cocktail party, and they took the collectables.

Simpson`s arrest came just days after the Goldman family published a book that Simpson had written under the title If I Did It, about how he would have committed the killings of his ex-wife and Goldman if he had done it.

After a deal for Simpson to publish it fell through, a federal bankruptcy judge awarded the book`s rights to the Goldman family, who retitled it If I Did It: The Confessions of the Killer.

Over the weekend, the book was the hottest seller in the US, hitting No1 on Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com.
