Tyson Accused of Jumping on Car Hood
Wednesday, December 08, 2004
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Former heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson (search) was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor criminal damage for allegedly jumping on the hood of a car outside of a city nightclub, police said.
Tyson, who moved to Scottsdale (search) early this year, appeared with attorneys at the city's police station Tuesday afternoon and was released after being given a citation.
Scottsdale police detective Sam Bailey said Wednesday that Tyson likely will make an initial court appearance in the case within 10 days.
Police said the arrest stemmed from an investigation into an incident late last month at the Pussycat Lounge.
Tyson allegedly dented the hood of a car when he jumped on it as its driver was leaving the club around 1 a.m. on Nov. 27.
Police said it was unclear if Tyson and the other man fought inside the club before the incident or if they knew each other.
The 22-year-old victim, whose name was not immediately released, reported the incident to police and claimed a body shop estimated the hood damage at $1,400, Bailey said.
i heard since tysons past is so bad he could face up to 5 and a half years in jail, so i guess it is a big deal.
yeah, i can easily tell you there will be no jail time.
take it easy mate.....he is only human, and any small thing he does is scrutinized.......give the guy a fair go, and stop attacking him for misdemeanours and parking fines.
yup and I started that thread called "can freddie roach save mike tyson".....looks like the answer is NO
Maybe FR should baby him. FR is only about 2 weeks here in the Philippines and there goes Mike acting like a crazy dog again.
I thought he was through with his self destructing way after training seriously with Freddie Roach. Well, the guy is self destructing again as many are predicting he will. :o :o :o
Mike just needs to quit hanging out in spots that he could lose his cool at. Tyson doesn't look like a guy that would go and pick a fight with a 22 year old. But he does look like a person who could get very pissed off if someone mouthed off to him. The kid probably bit off more than he could chew with Tyson and tried to get out of there in a hurry. Shit like that happens in those spots especially if your famous like Mike Tyson. They want to see if your as bad as everyone says you are.
He's suing the wrong guy. Tyson from what I hear is broke..
Tyson could sell his side of the story to the Enquirer and pay this guy and a hundred others.
So he jumped on top of a car when he was drunk,big deal. I've done worse things when I was drunk and I don't think this incident will affect his future comeback.
The guy's whose car he jumped only wants to get paid for the damage done to his car...he said he doesn't want Tyson to go to jail or anything. I'm sure Tyson's guys can work out some sort of arrangement to keep him out of serious trouble for this. So he's lucky this time around...
.....Yeah, too many stories about drug abuse, hanging with the wrong individuals, etc. etc. I would say he is headed for real trouble. I say he is in a pine box within a year. Any takers on that bet??
i'm not betting against that, the guys a nutter. all this bad mufu talk and gansta attitude will get him killed.
hahaahhha is this really that big of a deal he jumped on some ones car, he didn't rape or kill anyone. Its misdemeanor so I don't think he will go to jail and if he does probably not for long. And why does this come as a suprise Tyson's always had his slip ups hear and there.
