One now gets the sense that the only way it will end for Michael Gerard Tyson is badly.
With the troubling reports continuing to emanate from Scottsdale, Arizona that the former two-time heavyweight boxing champion of the word, and once proclaimed "baddest man on the planet" has been arrested for DUI and ******* possession, we now all get the message that Mike Tyson’s life has shattered into a million pieces of ruin.
At just about two o’clock in the early morning hours of December 29, in the dark streets where Indian School Road and Drinkwater Blvd. cross, Mike Tyson now age 40, was stung by a Scottsdale police task force conducting a DUI sting.
Tyson had just exited a local nightclub and was behind the wheel of his late model, black, BMW 745I. According to the police report, Tyson was observed to be driving erratically, his vehicle was weaving in traffic and he failed to yield at a stop sign. Later, Tyson’s vehicle nearly collided with an undercover SUV that would ultimately intercept him. For the man formerly known as "Iron" Mike Tyson, it would be just another addition to a well known rap sheet that began nearly three decades ago as a twelve year-old boy on the streets of Brownsville, Brooklyn.
The arresting officer searched Tyson’s person and vehicle and "observed a white powder substance on the center console of the vehicle, Mike was wiping the dash off as I approached."
Tyson also possessed "two bags of a white powder substance...in his back left pocket. In addition a bag was located on the driver seat in a Marlboro cigarettes pack." That substance was later deemed to be *******.
According to the police report, Tyson "performed poorly on the one leg stand, walk and turn" and was arrested for operating under the influence. A drug test confirmed that Tyson was under the influence of a depressant, a stimulant and cannabis and he was subsequently informed in court today that he would be charged with felony drug possession.
