Looks like OJ Simpson is tired of being taken advantage of in jail, so he’s taking measures into his own hands. He’s hired himself a body guard. He should have done this from the very beginning. How is that possible you ask?! Check it out…
Via DailyMail:
Where there’s ‘Smoke’ there’s OJ. The 66-year-old disgraced gridiron great has hired himself a fellow felon – Willie Hartwell, aka Smoke – to protect him in prison.
OJ has been worried about attacks from aggressive inmates at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada, where he has been incarcerated since 2008. He fears there are prisoners who want to make a name for themselves by hurting ‘The Juice,’ especially on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the brutal murders of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman.
‘He found the biggest guy who is in great shape and willing to fend off the bullies to help OJ out — but, of course, it comes at a price,’ a close friend revealed.
Smoke is only 44-years-old, he’s 6′ tall, weighs 180 pounds and his physical build is described as ‘large’ on the Nevada Criminal Identification Demographics records. And he’s prepared to watch OJ’s back for a few favors.
‘Obviously, OJ can’t give Smoke any cash money but since he still gets bucks from his books every month through his family and from his female fans, Smoke tells OJ what he wants from the commissary — extra food, toiletries, stamps to send out letters, magazines – and OJ will get it for him!
‘And OJ has also promised if he is paroled in 2017 and Smoke is still there he will continue to put money on his books until he is paroled and help him when he gets out, like if he needs a place to crash for a while.’
‘OJ even told Smoke he may hire him as a bodyguard when they are both free because the world is just as dangerous as prison life is for him! But he joked he will pay him in it cash instead of cookies, an extra blanket or cup-a-soup noodles!’
Willie ‘Smoke’ Hartwell was jailed in in 2002 for armed robbery with a deadly weapon and kidnapping. This was not his first time in the slammer.
