LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1 -- Former American football star O.J. Simpson, 70, was released on parole at 12:08 a.m. local time on Sunday after serving nearly nine years in prison in U.S state of Nevada.

Nevada Department of Corrections released a 7-second short video of Simpson walking out from the the Lovelock Correctional Center in northern Nevada on it's Facebook page, as well as a picture of him signing his paperwork on the table for release from prison.

In the video and the picture, the former NFL star and actor walked out of the prison by himself, wearing a gray baseball cap, blue jacket and white sneaker. He went directly to the dark night after signing a paper in a office, at that time, nobody was waiting outside of the place.

"It was incident free, nobody followed, it was exactly what we'd hoped we could do for public safety," Brooke Keast, a spokeswoman for the Nevada Department of Corrections, was quoted as saying by Los Angeles Times.

"I do not know where he's going. I didn't want to know, to be honest," she added.

Simpson was picked up by a friend after releasing from the prison.

NBC news channel reported that Simpson could stay in Nevada for days since Florida and California, where he lived in the past, did not receive requests for transfer before his release.

But he ever joked to the four-person parole board who on July 20 voted unanimously to grant him parole, saying "Stay in Nevada? I don't think you guys want me here."
