Tyson Bites at Plea Deal

Posted Sep 24th 2007 12:20PM by TMZ Staff

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.

7. 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.

9. 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.

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

13. I'd like to see him and OJ go at it (or is OJ afraid of some one his own size?)

14. In response to FIBiker, I would rather euthanize George W. Bush who has done more damage to this country than Mike Tyson and a thousand like him could scarcely imagine doing. On another note, while I do not know Mike Tyson personally, I do personally know some of the people that do know him. There's a human side to Tyson--he's no Elvis giving away Cadillacs, but he's been known to be generous with his money to many people who had no reason to expect anything from him. That's the story that never gets printed.
