Security officers escort OJ Simpson off Las Vegas hotel property after disturbance
Las Vegas NV Nov 11 2017 An apparently intoxicated O.J. Simpson allegedly went on a rampage in a Las Vegas bar before security officers were called to escort Simpson off the property.
Since his release from prison on Oct. 1, the 70-year-old former NFL star has been frequenting bars in the Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas.
Simpson was in the Cosmopolitan Hotel’s Clique bar on the night of Nov. 8. Around midnight he was heard exchanging angry words with the hotel staff, and he then began breaking glasses, according to celebrity website TMZ.
Security guards were summoned as escorted Simpson, who is still on parole, out of the hotel bar. When security showed up, the ex-NFL star calmed down and became cooperative, the New York Post reports. The Cosmopolitan decided to permanently ban Simpson from the Hotel.
Security officers permanently banned Simpson from the property according to TMZ.
Simpson will be on parole for the next five years after being convicted of breaking into the Las Vegas hotel room of a sports memorabilia dealer in 2007.
Simpson, who was apparently trying to steal memorabilia he thought had been stolen from him, was sentenced to 33 years in prison. He served nine before being released on Oct. 1.
According to Simpson’s attorney, Malcolm LaVergne, Simpson said all allegations of an altercation at The Cosmopolitan are false.
