O.J.'s Family Crisis

Just call him O.J. Simpson, trouble magnet.

The Juice got squeezed again last week after Miami-Dade police responded to a tearful 911 call from his 17-year-old daughter, Sydney.

The Florida teen called police on the morning of January 18 following an alleged shouting match between her and her father. An emotional teenager is heard sobbing on the muffled 911 tape, "My dad is an a--hole...He doesn't f---ing love me."

When police arrived, the honor-roll student "was in her bedroom upset," according to the report filed by the officers responding to the call. An "argument over family issues" apparently prompted the call.

After interviewing Sydney and O.J., cops came to the conclusion that no physical abuse had taken place. "It was understood that it was a family type of argument," said Sergeant Denis Morales of the Miami-Dade Police Department. "There was no violence, no crime had occurred, so no further action was deemed necessary."

No charges were filed, and Sydney voluntarily left the house "to defuse the situation," said Morales.

Simpson's attorney Yale L. Galanter chalked it up to a teenage moment. "There was no argument...there was no evidence of anything, no yelling, no hitting, no screaming, nothing," said Galanter. "This is just a teenager being a teenager."

Galanter claims the former football star was not home when the 911 call was placed. Simpson was preparing for knee surgery, "so he was going back and forth to the hospital," according to Galanter.

"We're miffed that this is getting as much play as it's getting," the attorney added.

But every O.J. misstep has gone under the media magnifying glass since the onetime Heisman Trophy winner was tried and acquitted for the 1994 murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend, Ronald Goldman. He was later found liable for their wrongful deaths in a civil lawsuit and ordered to give the victims' families $33.5 million, a ruling he has attempted to appeal. But that wasn't O.J.'s last run-in with the law.

In December 2000, Simpson was accused of going ballistic on a horn-heavy motorist. A jury acquitted Simpson of road-rage charges.

Next, Simpson's name surfaced in a federal drug probe. In December 2001, FBI and DEA agents searched Simpson's Miami home as part of Operation X, a two-year investigation into an Ecstasy drug and money-laundering ring and the sale of pirated satellite TV decoder equipment. Simpson was not charged with any crime.

Simpson's latest legal hassles involved a waterlogged speeding ticket for racing a powerboat through Biscayne Bay and harassing the endangered manatees who live there. An arrest warrant was issued after Simpson skipped out on a court date stemming from the incident. The case was later resolved without Simpson being taken into custody.
