Tyson faces jail again after police claim drugs were in car
James Bone in New York
Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight boxing champion, could be sent back to prison after being stopped for driving erratically in Arizona and telling police: “I’m an addict.”
Prosecutors are demanding that “Iron Mike” be jailed for drug possession and driving under the influence, charges that carry a maximum sentence of seven years. “He has run out of second chances, at least in my book,” Andrew Thomas, the Maricopa County prosecutor, told a press conference.
Tyson, 40, who served three years in jail for the rape in 1992 of a Miss Black America contestant, was stopped by police after leaving the Pussycat nightclub in Scottsdale, Arizona, on Friday.
According to a police report obtained by The Smoking Gun website, police saw Tyson wiping away loose tobacco and a white powder from the centre console of his BMW. An officer allegedly found bags of cocaine in the boxer’s back pocket and another in a package of cigarettes in his car.
According to reports, Tyson later told police that he took the antidepressant Zoloft, smoked marijuana and used cocaine “when I can get my hands on it”. He told Officer J.R. Knight that he got “a little crazy” if he did not take Zoloft, because “I’m f***** up”. Tyson said that he could not roll his own “ joints” so he got other people to pack cocaine into Marlboro cigarettes.
“Mike stated that he takes the cigarette and rolls it between his fingers to get the tobacco out of the open end of the cigarette,” Mr Knight reported. “Mike said there is usually some tobacco left in the cigarette. He then lays out his cocaine and scoops the cocaine into the open end of the cigarette.” Tyson, who became the youngest heavyweight champion in history in 1986 at the age of 20, recently got back into the ring for a series of four-round exhibition fights.
Mr Thomas said that Tyson’s record made him eligible for prison instead of Arizona’s drug treatment programmes for non-violent offenders.
“I don’t take any pleasure out of doing this,” he said. “A week ago, my kids and I were watching Rocky Balboa in the movie theatre, and we saw Mike Tyson make a cameo appearance in the movie, and now here we are and he’s looking at going back to prison.”
