( BBC ) Ex-American football star OJ Simpson has been questioned by police in Las Vegas in connection with a break-in at a casino hotel room.
The incident occurred at the Palace Station Casino late on Thursday.
Police said they were questioning Mr Simpson and four others over an alleged theft that involved sports memorabilia.
Mr Simpson was not arrested, and later told the Associated Press news agency that the items belonged to him and that he did not break in.
Footage of Mr Simpson entering the police station for interview was broadcast on US television.
Public outcry
Mr Simpson was tried and acquitted in 1995 of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman on 12 June 1994.
Mr Simpson was later found liable for the deaths in a civil trial and ordered to pay $33.5m (?17m) in damages - money that has never been collected.
In July, the rights to Mr Simpson's book If I Did It were awarded to Mr Goldman's family to help cover the judgement.
The book, in which Mr Simpson describes how he would have killed his ex-wife and her friend, was published in the US on Thursday by Beaufort Books.
The publication followed months of legal wrangling after Rupert Murdoch's companies cancelled plans to publish the book following a public outcry last year.
