O.J. Simpson goes on trial for kidnapping and armed robbery today in Las Vegas, so he had a run-in with the law on Sunday to get him warmed up for court. Simpson was driving on I-15 in Vegas when he was pulled over by the Nevada Highway Patrol. At first I thought O.J. was trying to flee the state but it turns out somebody reported him for drunken driving.

From the Las Vegas Review Journal:

Simpson, whom NHP officials said was not intoxicated, was not cited or arrested. He was pulled over somewhere between Jean and Las Vegas while he was traveling north on I-15, NHP Trooper Kevin Honea said.

“The guy was just driving. He did absolutely nothing wrong,” Honea said. “We owe it to the safety of the public to check these things out.”

O.J. Simpson was involved with the police and cleared of any wrongdoing? There’s a first time for everything. He’s not gonna be as lucky during the trial.
