MIAMI (Reuters) - O.J. Simpson's daughter was arrested by police who said she swore at them and slapped an officer's hand while they investigated reports of a fight outside a Miami high school gym.
Sydney Simpson, 19, was charged on Saturday with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest without violence, the Miami police report said. She was released after agreeing to appear in court on the misdemeanor charges. No court date has been set.
Police said Simpson screamed obscenities at them and refused to quiet down while they questioned two 16- and 17-year-old girls, who accused Simpson of hitting them in the face outside the Ransom Everglades School after a basketball game.
The girls declined to press charges against Simpson, but police said they charged her with disorderly conduct because she interfered with their investigation.
The officers said they added the resisting arrest charge because "the defendant slapped Officer (Daniel) Rodriguez in the right hand" as they tried to take her into custody.
Simpson's attorney was not immediately available for comment on Wednesday.
Simpson graduated last year from the Miami school that lost the basketball game to Ransom Everglades and now attends college in Boston. She and her brother, Justin, moved to Miami with their father after the former football star was acquitted in 1995 of murdering their mother, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, in California.
