Fallen football star O.J. Simpson, charged with robbery and kidnapping, was released from jail on Thursday after posting a USD 125,000 bail, Bloomberg reported.

"He is not a flight risk, and he is not a danger to the community,'' Simpson's attorney said in a televised news conference. He said Simpson, 60, will probably return to his Florida home within a few days.

Simpson faces the possibility of life in prison if found guilty in the charges of ten felonies, including kidnapping, in the armed robbery of sports-memorabilia collectors in a casino hotel room. He sat on the dock along with three other men.

The former sports commentator and film actor, acquitted in his ex-wife's murder more than a decade ago, will return to Las Vegas in late October for another hearing. A trial is expected begin next year.

Simpson was arrested Sunday after a collector reported that a group of armed men charged into his room at the Palace Station casino and took several items that Simpson said belonged to him.

According to the charges, Simpson and the others went to the room under the pretext of brokering a deal with Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong, two longtime collectors of Simpson memorabilia.

Once in the room, Simpson prevented Fromong from calling 911 on his cellphone "by ripping it out of" his hand while one or more accomplices pointed or displayed a handgun.

The complaint does not specify which of the men was carrying the weapon.

The kidnapping charge accuses the men of detaining each collector "against his will, and without his consent, for the purpose of committing a robbery."
