O.J. Simpson was reportedly tossed out of a luxury hotel and casino in Las Vegas after allegedly getting drunk and becoming unruly.
The celebrity news site TMZ reported Simpson had been frequenting bars at the Cosmopolitan Hotel since his prison release in Nevada last month.
TMZ, citing unnamed hotel staffers, reported around midnight Wednesday, Simpson was drunk and became disruptive at the Clique bar at the Cosmopolitan, breaking glasses.
Security showed up, and though Simpson was cordial to them, they removed him; he is now been permanently banned from the Cosmopolitan, TMZ reported.
A police dispatcher referred to Simpson by name — saying "Orenthal is here" — in an audio recording obtained by TMZ. The dispatcher apparently had thought Simpson was at a pizza shop inside the hotel, according to the tape.
"He's actually sitting inside the bar, he was asking about the pizza shop," the dispatcher said.
A witness, meanwhile, spotted Simpson inside the hotel shortly after midnight.
Simpson was released from prison shortly after midnight Oct. 1 after serving nine years of a 33-year sentence for robbing sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2007. He will remain under supervised parole for five years.
