Police reports chronicle Simpson's life since 2000

MIAMI — O.J. Simpson moved from California to South Florida to lay low, raise his kids, play golf. But his life here has been anything but placid.

Simpson and his on-again, off-again girlfriend Christie Prody have been named in at least 18 Miami-Dade County police reports since he arrived in 2000, according to records.

Only a couple of those incidents resulted in charges, and neither Simpson, 60, nor Prody, 32, has been sentenced to jail time.

That may change with the more serious charges Simpson now faces in Las Vegas. Later this month, the former football star is due in court there to formally respond to charges of kidnapping and robbery — felonies that could send him to prison for decades.

But the Miami-Dade police reports offer a glimpse of Simpson's life with Prody since retiring from his previous stints as football star, rental-car pitchman, comedic actor, sports commentator and murder defendant.

Prody, a Minnesota native and former Los Angeles waitress, met Simpson after he was acquitted of killing his former wife and her friend in 1995.

Police have been called to break up loud fights between the couple five times in the past seven years, records show.

Prody was ejected from a hotel near Miami International Airport in 2000 for kicking and slapping Simpson.

She shoved him again in 2005, and then slapped one of his friends, according to police reports. Prody also has accused Simpson of entering her home without permission, stealing pages from her address book and erasing her voice mails. Neither of them has ever filed charges against the other.

Attempts to contact Simpson were unsuccessful.

Only two of the Miami-Dade police reports resulted in charges: Simpson's so-called "Road Rage Case" from 2000 and Prody's arrest for marijuana possession at Thompson Park in Southwest Miami-Dade last year.

She paid a fine for the misdemeanor drug charge.

She also paid a fine for a city of Miami case in 2002 in which she pleaded no contest to animal cruelty after her cat was found dead from abandonment inside her apartment.

More recently, Simpson's handyman told Miami-Dade police on July 29 that Simpson came to his home and threatened him.
