O.J. SIMPSON appeared to be rolling toward freedom Saturday as Nevada prison officials moved him in anticipati­on of his release on parole.

Simpson, 70, may leave prison as early as Monday , possibly in Las Vegas, a Nevada prison official told the Associated Press.

No details could be found on Simpson’s location in the prison system, which State Department of Correction­s spokeswoma­n Brooke Keast said usually indicates that an inmate is being moved in custody. “He is still in our custody, at least until (Sunday),” Keast said. “The department is progressin­g toward his release as soon as possible.”

Simpson — who was acquitted in 1995 of murder charges in the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman but found found civilly liable for the killings in 1997 — has been held at Lovelock Correction­al Center in northern Nevada for the last seven years, for robbing two memorabili­a dealers at a Las Vegas casino hotel in 2007.
