CBS News- A Nevada prison official said O.J. Simpson, the former football legend and celebrity, has been released from a Nevada prison in Lovelock after serving nine years for armed robbery.
Nevada state prisons spokeswoman Brooke Keast said Simpson was released at 12:08 a.m. Pdt from Lovelock Correctional Center in northern Nevada. She said she did not know where he would go.
Keast said the dead-of-night release from the prison located about 90 miles east of Reno, Nevada, was conducted to avoid media attention.
"We needed to do this to ensure public safety and to avoid any possible incident," she added, speaking by telephone.
Unlike when he walked free after his murder trial in 1995, Simpson faces parole supervision for another five years.

O.J. Simpson has been granted parole by the Nevada Board of Parole.
Simpson was granted the decision on Thursday while at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Lovelock, Nevada, where he appeared live via video teleconference in front of the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners in Carson City. Simpson's eldest daughter, Arnelle, also spoke at the hearing in support of her father.
The decision was handed down by parole commissioners Connie S. Bisbee, Tony Corda, Adam Endel and Susan Jackson, the same four board members who granted Simpson parole at his July 2013 hearing on his kidnapping, robbery and burglary charges.

“Intense.” It’s easily the one word to describe “Chapter V” of Justin Simien’s Netflix series, Dear White People.
“It was intense, bro,” says Barry Jenkins, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind Moonlight, who stepped in to direct the episode, which is a largely satirical take on racial tension at a predominately white Ivy League-type campus told through the eyes of black students upended when campus security is called to a party and pulls a gun on a black student named Reggie (Marque Richardson).
The scene comes near the end of an episode that sees Reggie, a student activist, and his friends journey (via several enjoyable walk-and-talks) through campus from one event to the next before arriving at a party where he and a white student (Nolan Funk) get into a racially charged confrontation over singing the N word along to a Future song.
