Famed football player, actor and ex-murder suspect O. J. Simpson was spotted in Vail yesterday. A handful of locals managed to snag pictures with Simpson in Lionshead Village.

Simpson was also spotted at Bridge Street Bar, mingling with locals as the band played Scott Munn’s edited version of Richie Valens’ “La Bamba,” called “Big F**king Bronco.”

The final photo that the Vail Daily has been able to obtain is a selfie captured with Simpson.
