LAS VEGAS – Investigators questioned O.J. Simpson about a break-in at a casino hotel room involving sports memorabilia, police said Friday.
The break-in was reported at the Palace Station casino late Thursday night, police spokesman Jose Montoya said.
Simpson was released and is believed to be in Las Vegas, Montoya said.
A Simpson attorney in Florida, Yale L. Galanter, did not immediately return phone messages seeking comment.
The Heisman Trophy winner and ex-NFL star had been scheduled to give a deposition Friday in Miami in a bankruptcy case involving his eldest daughter. But it was canceled because Simpson had told attorneys that he would be out of town.
