OJ Simpson’s arrest may be the start of a new legal odyssey for the fallen American football star and actor, one that could reopen the possibility of prison time more than a decade after his acquittal on murder charges.

Police have arrested OJ Simpson after an armed group allegedly burst into a US hotel room and snatched memorabilia that documented his sports career.

OJ Simpson faces multiple charges in connection with an alleged armed robbery of collectors involving the sports memorabilia of former football greats, authorities said tonight.
