To begin with, the vague story about OJ Simpson being questioned for a possible burglary at a casino made no sense. Now that more details are out, it makes even less. According to Simpson, he didn't steal anything, he was conducting a "sting operation" to take back football memorabilia he said had been stolen from him. Sting operation? Someone has seen Ocean's 11 one too many times.

Thomas Riccio told CNN affiliate Fox5 News (KVVU) television in Las Vegas that he witnessed what sparked the allegations at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino.

Riccio said Simpson was taking back items that he said had been stolen from him, the station reported.

Riccio said he received a call about a month ago from someone who wanted to auction some of Simpson's personal possessions by placing them on consignment. Riccio said he called Simpson, with whom he had done business in the past, and the former football player told him the items had been stolen from him, the station said.

Riccio said that as he was being shown the items in a hotel room, Simpson entered and seized them, according to the station. Riccio said there was no break-in, and no gun was used, the station said.

So far, there's no verification that any of this is true. But I can see OJ trying to take matters into his own hands if something was stolen from him. Police probably give him the shivers.
