A friend called and told me Mike was arrested last night at LAX.
Anyone know anything about this?

yeah I heard about it I think he hit a photographer at an airport?

Yes, chile it's true. He claims the pap was threatening his 2 year old so opened up a can o' whup ass on him.

I would have done the same thing, but the photographer has his own story. So who knows? The truth is somewhere in between.

I think he went to the hospital.

The photographer wasn't the one that dealt the punch, but he may still be liable IF the Mike's report is true.

I hope Mike manages 2 stay out of legal trouble. There are a handful of people who would like nothing more than 2 put Mike back in prison. I'm not liking this right about now.

Thanks.

...that's how we roll in Brooklyn. I hit you, you hit the floor

I watched the Tyson documentary a few weeks ago and I kinda feel bad for the guy. I also think that something needs to be done about the god damn paparazzi. They're out of control.

if you dumb enough to swing on Mike Tyson, you deserve whatever life has to throw at you....Maybe later, this pap can also go play with the tigers in the zoo and stop by his friend's house who owns a grown chimp.

Co-sign. I´ve been a Mike Tyson fan since I was fourteen. The man is a tragic figure and has had a lot of bad luck and suffered many tragedies in his life.
People should know better and stay the fuck away from him, especially those pesky paparazzi.
Mike sure made a lot of mistakes and treated people badly ( and maybe even raped a woman?) but people know what they´re getting into when they´re messing with him.He even admits that he´s a brutal,crazy guy, so why provoke him ?


By the way, that movie "Tyson" is great and one of my favorites this year.



PS: To those who´ve been following him a bit closer than I have....how do you feel about the rape allegations? Was he really guilty or did someone frame him? I know he´s abusive but is he really a rapist?

Seeing we're on the subject of canned goods.....

KoolEaze said:

I read several jurors stated they wouldn't have convicted Mike if they were presented with all the evidence at the trial(Ms. Washington falsely accused a previous boyfriend of rape). And Mike said if he walked her downstairs, he wouldn't have gone to jail. So who knows what really happened that night? I'm really not sure either way.

The judge in that case threw out several pieces of evidence that would have given Mike an innocent verdict. In my opinion, the FACTS of that case suggest that Mike did NOT rape this woman.

Tyson faces jail if scuffle is deemed a violation

LOS ANGELES (AP)—Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, who was arrested in a scuffle with a photographer, could be sent to jail if he’s found to have violated probation from a 2007 drug case, officials said Thursday.

The 43-year-old former heavyweight champion and a photographer, Tony Echeverria, made citizens’ arrests of each other following a confrontation at about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday at Los Angeles International Airport.

Each man claimed the other struck him, police said.

Airport police were called, and the men were taken away for booking on suspicion of misdemeanor battery. They were fingerprinted and photographed, then released without bail, Sgt. Jim Holcomb said.

The city attorney will decide whether to file criminal charges.

Tyson is on probation after pleading guilty in Arizona to cocaine possession and driving under the influence. He spent 24 hours in jail there.

Zach Dal Pra, deputy chief of the Maricopa County Adult Probation Department, said his office is still trying to get in touch with Los Angeles authorities to figure out exactly what transpired during the airport incident.

“Did Mr. Tyson’s actions constitute a violation of probation here? If so, we’ll start court proceedings,” he said. “Right now, we’re still in that investigative mode.”

Tyson could face jail time if a court finds that he violated his probation, Dal Pra said.
