O.J. Simpson Arrested For Burglary In Vegas! (w/video link)

LAS VEGAS NV – (Alleged) murderer/long-time criminal (oh yeah, and former football star/actor) O.J. Simpson was arrested Sunday on charges related to an armed robbery involving sport memorabilia, police said.

Simpson was arrested shortly after 11 a.m. and is being brought to a police office, Capt. James Dillon said. Police are still determining charges against Simpson.

Several police officers were seen entering the hotel where Simpson is staying; a security guard said police took Simpson out a side door shortly after.

At least one other person has been arrested and police said earlier Sunday that as many as six people could be arrested in connection with the alleged armed robbery that occurred in a room inside the Palace Station casino-hotel on Thursday.Nice gloves.

Simpson, 60, has said he and other people with him were retrieving items that belonged to him. He told police no guns were involved.

Police said two firearms and other evidence were seized at a private residence early Sunday.

Walter Alexander, 46, of Arizona, was arrested Saturday night 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.

Watch the video of O.J. leaving a wedding Sat. night in Vegas; listen to the song he’s whistling!

JOKESTARTERS:

  • Sure, no guns were involved, but did they check for any knives?
  • According to authorities, Simpson plans another huge defense. He’s already exhumed the body of the late Johnny Cochran to serve as his lead defender/smelly rotting corpse.

Jokestarter Salutes Kyle Garchar For His Great “We Suck” Stadium Card Prank

HILLIARD, OH – A suburban Columbus high school student says he’s been suspended for tricking rival football fans into holding up signs that together spelled out, “We Suck.”

Hilliard Davidson High School senior Kyle Garchar says he and two friends spent three days plotting the trick, which was captured on video and posted on YouTube:

Garchar says he was inspired by a similar prank pulled by Yale students in 2004, when Harvard fans were duped into holding up cards with the same message.

The 17-year-old placed about 800 black and white cards in seats at Crew Stadium before an August 24th game with Hilliard Darby High School.

Directions instructed fans to check that the number listed on their card matched their seat number.

Darby supporters were told the sign read “GO DARBY.”

So…should Kyle have been suspended? Please add your thoughts in Comments below…

Rugby Player Has Headaches, Finds Opponent’s Tooth Buried In His Forehead

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA – A rugby player here has run around for 15 weeks without knowing that an opponents tooth was actually buried in his forehead.

Ben Czislowski had a clash of heads with Tweed Heads forward Matt Austin during a Queensland Cup game on April 1.

He had the wound stitched up but was wondering why he felt lethargic, had an eye infection and had shooting pains in his head ever since.

Czislowski, a former Broncos and Bulldogs player in the NRL, visited his GP last week and all was revealed.

“I can laugh about it now but the doctor told me it could have been serious with teeth carrying germs,” Czislowski, 24, said.

“I feel so lucky that the worst that I got out of it was that my head looked uglier than it does normally.”

It’s a bizarre story, so Czislowski has taken measures to ensure he is believed.

“I’ve got the tooth at home, sitting on the bedside table,” he said.

“If he (Austin) wants it back he can have it. I’m keeping it at the moment as proof that it actually happened.

“It’s a story I can tell for the rest of my life. It will get a bit more exaggerated over the years, but it’s a good laugh.”

The tooth’s removal has had an immediate effect on Czislowski’s on-field form – he was the driving force behind Wynnum’s 38-16 Queensland Cup win over Central at Rockhampton on the weekend.

“A lot of the boys have been giving it to me, saying I was using it (embedded tooth) as an excuse for my poor form but my eye looks a thousand times better already and I feel a lot better,” he said.Nice teeth

Czislowski is not the only rugby league player to have been left with an unlikely souvenir by an opponent.

In 2004, Australian hooker Shane Millard also had a foe’s fang removed from his head while playing for Widnes in the English competition.

Two years earlier, Australian Jamie Ainscough’s arm became so badly infected while playing for Wigan in England there were fears it would be amputated before the source was discovered.

Yep, a rival’s tooth.

JOKESTARTERS:

  • This isn’t the first opponent’s body part to be implanted in Czislowski. Previously, he had severe anal aches. Turns out… (fill in the inappropriate blanks yersef meester).
  • Ironically, once Czislowski removed his opponent’s tooth, the Tooth Fairy arrived and gave him a stolen $5 bill.
