 OJ Simpson walked free from prison shortly after midnight Sunday, an hour a prison official said was intended “to avoid any incidents and to ensure public safety.”
Prison spokeswoman Brooke Keast told TheWrap that Simpson was released at 12:08 a.m. PDT from Lovelock Correctional Center, about 90 miles east of Reno. She said Simpson left with a driver in a light-colored SUV, and that she had no idea where he went. (She didn’t know the model of the SUV, but laughed “no, no, no” when asked if it was a white Bronco.) “There was so much extreme interest from different media sources in this release that we wanted to avoid a paparazzi situation,” she said, adding that the prison had not received any threats. “There was no media here whatsoever, so nobody followed, which was what our hope was.” Comments are closed.
