The complaint charged the men with robbery, assault, coercion and kidnapping.Simpson has been in the Clark County Detention Center since his arrest Sunday.

People from all over the state, as well as tourists, have been crowding around the detention center to catch a glimpse of the case."I am interested to see all the news crews," tourist Murray White said. "We are from Scotland. OJ Simpson is a huge character. It's fabulous to be here."Supporters from Simpson's first run-in with authorities -- during the murder trial for his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman -- have arrived from California to support the celebrity."I did the last O.J. trial -- I did everyday," supporter Larry Noble Mays said. "He's always treated me nice. Even when he got out the first time, he treated me nice."Simpson's arraignment is scheduled for 8 a.m. Wednesday in front of Judge Ann Zimmerman.Police have released two images (Image One, Image Two) of the men they are still looking for in the Palace Station robbery case.
