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.
"We don't believe he's going anywhere," he said.
The Heisman Trophy winner, ex-NFL star and actor 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.
Simpson lives near Miami and has been a tabloid staple since he
murdered his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman
were murdered in 1994.
Simpson was acquitted of murder charges, but a jury later held him
liable for the killings in a wrongful death lawsuit.
Investigators in the casino case planned to give their report to
prosecutors Friday, Montoya said. The district attorney's office will
decide whether to pursue charges.
A Simpson attorney in Florida, Yale L. Galanter, did not immediately
return phone messages seeking comment.
