LAS VEGAS (AP) -- O.J. Simpson was arrested Sunday on charges related to an armed robbery involving sport memorabilia, police said.
Simpson was arrested shortly after 11 a.m. and is being brought to a police office, Capt. James Dillon said. Police are still determining charges against Simpson.
Several police officers were seen entering the hotel where Simpson is staying; a security guard said police took Simpson out a side door shortly after.
At least one other person has been arrested and police said earlier Sunday that as many as six people could be arrested in connection with the alleged armed robbery that occurred in a room inside the Palace Station casino-hotel on Thursday.
Simpson, 60, has said he and other people with him were retrieving items that belonged to him. He told police no guns were involved.
Police said two firearms and other evidence were seized at a private residence early Sunday.
Walter Alexander, 46, of Arizona, was arrested Saturday night 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.

A guilty man can walk free for only so long.

I knew that once he got off on the Goldman-Simpson murders that sooner or later that he would serve time. I think that he is guilty as sin of murdering those two people. I do not know about the armed robbery thing. Honestly, I do not care as much about the armed robbery as I do about the murders. I could care less what he stole as long as he did not steal it from me. He got off with the murders and for that he should have served time.
Even if he gets off this time too, they will never let it rest until he goes to jail.

Sharpie (aka Al Sharpton) and The Rev (Jesse Jackson) are claiming he was arrested because of his race.
This will be the headlines before the end of the day, trust me. It's always the race card issue.

He's either self-destructive or still convinced he's invincible. Some people never learn.

Does he feel that he is above the law and that he would be no justice?
