The ex-girlfriend of O.J. Simpson was arrested Saturday night in Fargo on a robbery charge.  

Christie Prody, 37, is accused of taking a purse from a woman walking outside the entrance to West Acres Mall.  Police say the two struggled as Prody grabbed the purse that was strapped around the victim's neck and shoulder.  The two ended up on the ground and that's when mall security arrived and detained the two until police could question them.

The victim suffered minor injuries.

Lt. Joel Vettel tells KFGO News it was a random crime.  

 
It wasn't Prody's first run-in with the law.  In April she was charged with stealing pain killers from the home of a Moorhead couple where she worked as a nurse's aid.

Prody was a waitress in Los Angeles when she met Simpson in a 1996, the year after he was acquitted of the murders of his wife and friend.  They dated for 13 years.
