OJ Audio, and Norbit Gets Tasered

I know we're in prime Steeler-talk season, so just scroll down for all of that, because there are two breaking stories from the police blotter:

First, we now have audio of noted Steeler fan O.J. Simpson robbing that memorabilia collector in Vegas. He has been formally charged with two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit a crime and burglary with a firearm. He faces up to 30 years in jail for each robbery count. No, it's not looking good for The Juice.

Meanwhile, Pitt guard Levance "Norbit" Fields was stunned with a Taser last night outside of Pure nightclub in the strip, shortly after he tried the bold move of attempting to grab a police officer's gun. As far as I know, TMZ has not unearthed any audio...yet.
Fields stopped at Mercy Hospital before ending up at the Allegheny County Jail. He was released on his own recognizance, and a preliminary hearing has been set for next Monday.
Of course, the important thing in such a violent incident is the impact it will have on basketball. So for anyone wondering what happens next, Jamie Dixon said this:
"Earlier today I was informed of an incident at an off-campus location involving Levance Fields. At this juncture, we will let the judicial process run its course before determining what disciplinary action is necessary. We have built a successful program at Pitt, on and off the court, by prioritizing personal accountability and responsibility. We will not compromise when it comes to those values."
