Celebrity Justice
Tyson Bites at Plea Deal

Mike Tyson has pleaded guilty to one count each of drug possession and DUI charges.

The 41-year-old former heavyweight champion of the world was arrested last year in Arizona, after police say they found bags of cocaine in his back pocket and another bag in a pack of cigarettes in his car.

In exchange for the guilty plea, the Maricopa County D.A. dropped two other charges of DUI and possession.

He'll be back in court for sentencing on November 19.

6. I don't care about any of Mike Tyson's personal problems, man.


In his prime when he was hungry, NOBODY coulda touched him. Not even C. Clay.

He was an attacker, when he came out he went at you like a Rottweiler and tried to physically deconstruct you. Man, it's too bad he's had so many run-ins later in life.


He could've been the GOAT and that's for real.

10. could the public and media just leave this guy alone! He has personal issues to deal with without the eyes of the media and the public always in his business. People get arrested everyday and you do not see them all over the headlines and on the internet. You People need to get a life and stop looking at the lives of others.

13. They should euthanize him, like an older dog that has distemper. It's the right thing to do, the humane thing........

14. Maricopa County, Arizona - that is the jurisdiction of the infamous Sheriff Joe Arpaio. I hope big Mike enjoys wearing pink underwear.
