O.J. Simpson will be charged with a total of six counts of robbery, assault, burglary and conspiracy, Las Vegas police announced Sunday.
O.J. Simpson was arrested Sunday in relation to an armed robbery investigation.





Simpson was arrested at his hotel room at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, where he was staying while attending a friend's wedding, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Capt. James Dillon told reporters.
He was expected to be booked Sunday evening on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and one count each of armed burglary and conspiracy to commit burglary, Dillon said.
Simpson requested an attorney and was still at police headquarters late Sunday afternoon, Dillon said.
A co-defendant, Walter Alexander, faces similar charges in an investigation Dillon called "still dynamic and still ongoing."
Alexander, a Nevada resident, was arrested on his way to McCarran International Airport, a source told CNN. "I don't know why they arrested him," Simpson told CNN on Sunday before his own arrest. "I've stayed in contact with the police, and the truth will come out."

Simpson, 60, is accused of taking sports memorabilia from two men in a Las Vegas hotel room Thursday. One of the men, Bruce Fromong, described the incident as "a home invasion-type robbery."
Simpson has said the items belonged to him.
Fromong, a collector, told CNN that two men accompanying Simpson pointed guns at the people in the room.
Simpson has said that he entered the man's room with a group of friends, one of whom was posing as a potential buyer, after being tipped off that some of his personal items were for sale there. Simpson said his friends helped him carry the items from the room. Simpson said no guns were involved and that the incident was not a robbery.
But Las Vegas police Lt. Clint Nichols said interviews and searches -- including the seizure of two guns during the investigation -- contradict Simpson's account.
"We don't believe anybody was roughed up, but there were firearms involved in the commission of the robbery," Nichols said.
Simpson has maintained his innocence and called the incident a misunderstanding.
But the charges mean he faces the prospect of another prosecution, more than a decade after the June 1994 stabbing deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman.
Simpson was acquitted of murder the following year, after a trial that riveted much of the United States.
But in 1997, a jury found him liable for the deaths in a civil case brought by the Goldman family.
Goldman had gone to Nicole Simpson's Los Angeles home to return a pair of glasses the day of the slayings.

Goldman's sister, Kim Goldman, said she was not surprised by the robbery allegations, since Simpson "thinks he can do no wrong."
"He's capable of stabbing people to death, so I think robbery is nothing surprising," she said. "Normal, logical, civil-minded, law-abiding people don't storm a room with guns demanding stuff back," she added.
Simpson was ordered to pay the families a total of $33.5 million for the deaths. He recently wrote a book originally titled "If I Did It" and had planned to publish it himself, but a public outcry led to the cancellation of his book deal.
A bankruptcy judge subsequently awarded the Goldmans the rights to the book in light of their inability to collect the wrongful death award. They retitled the book, "If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer," which has just hit bookstores.




Whether the items taken in Thursday's incident belonged to Simpson "is still in debate," Nichols said.
"Obviously, I'm sure everyone here is aware of the Goldmans' right to his valuables," he said. "We are still in the process of sorting that out and determining if the properties that were taken were on the turnover agreement that the courts issued in California. That is still in the process of being worked out."
