On November 11,2009, Mike Tyson was arrested after getting into a scuffle at Los Angeles International airport with a photographer, police told TVGuide.com. “They got into a scuffle. The photographer sustained a laceration to the forehead and was taken to the hospital,” police said, adding that Tyson did not sustain any known injuries.
Both men were booked and have since been released from custody. Police records show Tyson was released at 8:24 p.m. after posting $20,000 bail. The men plan to press charges against each other for battery.
On September 24, 2007, Mike Tyson previously pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine and driving under the influence. He was convicted of these charges in November 2007 and sentenced to 24 hours in jail, 360 hours community service and 3 years probation.
Prosecutors had requested a year-long jail sentence, but the judge praised Tyson for seeking help with his drug problems.
