OJ Simpson has been refused bail following his arrest yesterday after an armed group burst into a Las Vegas hotel room on Thursday and snatched memorabilia.
The former football star and actor has been charged 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.
Simpson was taken away from The Palms casino-hotel a day after the arrest of a golfing friend who police say accompanied him with a gun in the Thursday night holdup.
A judge has ordered that Simpson be held without bail. If convicted of the booking charges, Simpson would face up to 30 years in state prison on each robbery count alone.
Simpson (60) said he and other people were retrieving items that belonged to him.
He said there were no guns involved and that he went to the room at the casino only to get stolen mementos that included his Hall of Fame certificate and a picture of the running back with J. Edgar Hoover.
Simpson was acquitted of the killings of his ex-wife and a friend more than a deacade ago.
