O. J. Simpson took all of his personal belongings — including a couple pairs of shoes, a hot plate and legal paper — with him when he was sprung from prison Sunday so that they wouldn’t wind up on the auction block, authorities told The Post.
“Those items that had his name on them — like if he had etched his name on a pair of shower shoes — we wanted him to take, because those things become marketable in the prison,” said Nevada Department of Corrections spokeswoman Brooke Keast. “We don’t want to see those things on eBay.”
The Juice had packed the items in the three microwave-sized boxes that accompanied him when he walked free under cover of darkness .
It’s the first time Keast knows of that the department has had to take the extra step to “keep order” after a celebrity leaves the lock-up.
“We have never had anyone in our custody that is this high-profile,” she said.
Simpson was granted parole in July and released Sunday after doing nine years of a maximum 33-year sentence for robbing a pair of sports-memorabilia moguls in Las Vegas in 2007.
He was loaded into a van when he left the prison, but his destination was unknown. He is rumored to be staying with friends in a gated community in a wealthy Las Vegas suburb, CNN reported.
Pal Tom Scotto has offered to put Simpson up in his Naples, Fla. pad, but Keast did not see him when the van picked up the ex-con.
“It was not someone I recognized — just a driver,” she said.
