Las Vegas - A man was arrested on Sunday in connection with an alleged armed robbery of sports memorabilia involving OJ Simpson, and police said the former football star may be arrested as well.
Simpson was expected to be questioned again and may face arrest, police Lieutenant Clint Nichols said.
The man detained on Saturday night was arrested 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, Nichols said.
He was not identified. Nichols said police were seeking other suspects.
"There may be as many as five outstanding (suspects)," he said.
The man is accused of being among a group of people that went to the room of memorabilia dealers at the Palace Station casino-hotel on Thursday and seized items.
Simpson has said the items belonged to him, and police have questioned him once in their investigation.
