Simpson granted bail after alleged armed robbery
OJ Simpson was today granted bail set at $125,000 (£63,000) after being accused of kidnapping, armed robbery and assault arising from a dispute at a Las Vegas hotel.
The 60-year-old former American football star and actor and three others face a total of 11 charges, which could send Mr Simpson to prison for the rest of his life.
He was arrested on Sunday after a sports memorabilia collector reported that a group of armed men stormed into his room at the Palace Station hotel and casino on Thursday night and took several items that Mr Simpson claimed belonged to him.
Mr Simpson was ordered to surrender his passport to his attorney, Yale Galanter, and have no contact with any co-defendants, witnesses or victims in the case.
