PHOENIX - Mike Tyson was released from jail without bond on a felony drug possession charge Friday after an early-morning arrest in which police said they found two bags of white powder in his back pocket.

"He admitted to using today and stated he is an addict and has a problem," according to a police probable cause statement filed in Maricopa County Superior Court. "Mike admitted to possessing bags of cocaine and said he uses any time he can get his hands on it."

Tyson was arrested early Friday, after nearly ramming a police SUV, on suspicion of driving under the influence and possession of cocaine when police stopped him shortly after he left a Scottsdale nightclub. According to the report, an officer saw Tyson trying to wipe a white powder off the console of his BMW as he approached.

In court Friday morning, the former heavyweight champ was dressed in an oversized golf shirt, baggy jeans and tennis shoes. He said nothing, periodically tapping his feet or fingers while waiting for the judge to enter. Tyson did not enter a plea and had no lawyer. He was scheduled for a preliminary hearing Jan. 16.

No alcohol was found in his system, and a DUI charge was not filed pending toxicology tests. Under the terms of his release, Tyson must submit to drug and alcohol testing and may not drink or take nonprescription drugs while the case is pending. He refused comment as he left the courtroom.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said Tyson had been to the county jail before - as a guest talking to juvenile offenders about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.

"The irony is he did a great job with these kids - stay away from drugs, don't drink, stay out of trouble," Arpaio said.
