Mike Tyson Fights Drug Charges

Posted Jan 22nd 2007 11:27AM by TMZ Staff

Mike Tyson says he has nothing to do with the bags of cocaine that Arizona police allegedly found in his car and pocket during a DUI bust last month.

Earlier today, Tyson pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of drug possession and two misdemeanor charges of DUI, even though he reportedly confessed to the crimes, and to being an "addict" during the time of his arrest according to the police report. If convicted on all four charges, the former heavyweight champion of the world could face seven and a half years in prison.

According to the report, Tyson "admitted to possessing bags of cocaine and said he uses anytime he can get his hands on it." The cop also added that "Mike was wiping the dash off as I approached."

Tyson is due back in court February 26.

4. d-man, we are all sorry that you are neurologically challenged, but you keep trying and working that one brain cell, sweetie. You are bound to say something intelligent eventually, it is just the law of probability. Unfortunately, the same does not apply to your urologic deficiency.

5. d-man, I'm checking back an hour later, no response from you. I was hoping for a stimulating exchange, one that would keep me awake, what a disappointment! But I guess keeping chicks awake and not disappointed is just another challenge for you!

9. TOO MANY BLACK YOUNG MEN WHO WERE GIVEN GOD GIVEN NATURAL TALENT TO MAKE MULTIMILLIONS OF BIG BUCKS RATHER SPEND MULTIMILLIONS OF BIG BUCKS WITH LAWYERS TO GET OUT OF CRIMES THEY DID NOT NEED TO COMMIT, RATHER THAN SPEND A FEW DOLLARS FOR A COMPUTER CENTER IN NEEDY NEIGHBORHOODS.

I FEEL NO PITY FOR ALL THE TALENTED ASS-HOLES WHO INSIST ON DURING ALL THE WRONG THINGS. IT'S SIMPLY TOO BAD THAT BLACK AND OTHER YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE ONLY THESE TYPES OF PEOPLE TO LOOK UP TO.

10. Mr. Tyson is "Mike" in the eyes of the only living and true God, Jesus Christ. I pray that Mr. Tyson will seek and find the Lord and understand that Cuss is also praying for Mike, with ice cream in hand (I don't know what that means... but when I pray, the ice cream words were there for Mr. Tyson). The Lord loves Mike unconditionally and will deliver him eternal peace, only if Mike will knock on the door. The former Muslim faith that Mike pursued did him no good at all -- just like any other fake drugs, Mike needs to flush all of that down into the sewer, and pusue something very "real." God bless Mike Tyson and may he find the narrow path to live life abundantly. Hey... look what Jesus did for George Foreman! Don't take my word... but rather ask your colleague, Mike.
