Las Vegas police arrested O.J. Simpson on Sunday amid an investigation into an alleged armed robbery at a hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, a source close to the investigation said.

The charges he faces are unclear. Simpson was arrested at his room in the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, the source said.
