Simpson denies break-in, theft

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Former football star O.J. Simpson admitted entering an ex-girlfiend's apartment while she was out, but denied breaking in or stealing anything from her.

Simpson told police he went into the apartment of 25-year-old Christie Prody only to do laundry and take out the garbage, a police report filed on Saturday said.

Prody called police on Friday after she said Simpson entered her home uninvited earlier that morning. She was not there at the time.

In a report from the Miami-Dade police, she said Simpson removed pages from her address book and a letter to a mutual friend that he had told her he didn't want her to mail.

Prody did not file charges against Simpson.

Restraining order discussed

In an interview with police on Friday night, Simpson said that although he and Prody broke up about two months ago, they remained on friendly terms and Prody never asked him to return the key to her apartment.

He said he had visited the apartment at least four times in the past 10 days with Prody's consent.

Neighbors interviewed by police said they saw Simpson's black Lincoln Navigator in front of Prody's apartment on Friday morning. One neighbor said she saw Simpson carry a large white laundry bag into the apartment.

In the report Prody filed with the police, she said she called Simpson after she realized someone had been in her home. He told her he had been there but said it was only to erase a message he had left on her answering machine.

Simpson told police he believes Prody called authorities because he had made a telephone call to her mother about a personal matter, which upset her.

Police instructed Prody on how to obtain a restraining order if she felt it was necessary.

Simpson was acquitted of criminal charges in the 1994 murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman. But he was found liable for their deaths in a civil trial and ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages.
