Thirteen years after his headline grabbing arrest following the murders of his wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman, OJ Simpson is in serious trouble with the law again, this time in connection with an armed robbery.
Police today arrested Simpson, saying he was part of an armed group who burst into a Las Vegas hotel room and snatched memorabilia that documented his own sports career.
The former US football star was taken away from the Palms Casino Hotel by plainclothes officers a day after the arrest of a friend 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 put in a police vehicle.
Las Vegas police gave further details of the arrest at a press conference this afternoon.
Simpson is charged with two counts of robbery, and assault with a deadly weapon, and four other charges
A judge ordered Simpson held without bail.
If convicted of the charges, Simpson could face up to 30 years in prison on each robbery count alone.
60-year-old Simpson has said he and other people were retrieving items that belonged to him.
