Las Vegas, NV -- And then there were 12. O.J. Simpson now faces a dozen charges in connection with the invasion of a room at hotel-casino in Las Vegas.

Investigators have added a charge of felony coercion against the ex-football star. He's accused of storming the room to retrieve sports memorabilia Simpson claimed belonged to him.

Simpson also faces charges of kidnapping and armed robbery in the case because investigators say some of the men with him in the room had guns. Meantime, the new complaint drops charges against Walter Alexander and Charles Cashmore, who have pleaded guilty to reduced charges.

They've agreed to testify against Simpson. A preliminary hearing is set for November 8th for Simpson and the three others who still face charges in the case.
