Tyson Sentenced to a Day in Jail, Probation

Posted Nov 19th 2007 11:26AM by TMZ Staff

A judge has just sentenced former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson to 24 hours in jail and three years probation for drug possession and driving under the influence.
Mike Tyson
In September, Tyson pleaded guilty to one felony count of cocaine possession and one count of misdemeanor DUI. The charges stem from an Arizona traffic stop last December, when cops pulled him over after he spent the evening at a Scottsdale strip club. The arresting officer said he saw Tyson wiping a white substance off the dashboard of his black BMW. Cops also say they found bags of cocaine in Tyson's pocket and in his car.

16. i don't know. i feel sympathy for him. he would do much better if he had the right people around him, true and loyal friends and NOT effin gold diggers. and not a management that was only after his money. he actually lost 90% of his money to so called "friends" and managers and whatever... if he had good friends, he would be much better now. and not doin drugs. i think mike needs a chance and he need real friends who NOT take his money and really care about him. mike need a good and loyal friend.

17. Man I wish he would get his act straightened out. He was the man the one punch legend. He's older and has lost that drive to kick butt even if it's his own which he has been doing the last few years. He will never be the same maybe one day he could get close but not the road he is traveling.

19. What you have failed to mention is Mike has actually been in rehab since the incident and has not failed any of his 29 drug tests. I think he may finally be getting his life together. Let's wish him the best instead of dragging him down.

Now for Brittney to finally realize a drugged up life is not a life at all.

22. Why even bother to ARREST him? This is an EXAMPLE of WHY DETROIT and other large Cities Have High Crime Rate.
We should Just Get rid of the Judges because We the public Are not being Watched over.

23. I feel sorry for Tyson . Troulbed soul that he is . He needs counseling for his issues . He has been a ''victim '' for yrs by people who used him for his boxing talent . I always thought he was very misunderstood .
