Mike Tyson Tells Cops: 'I'm a Cocaine Addict'
Mike Tyson has been arrested on a felony drug possession charge. He was charged in a Maricopa County Superior Court in Phoenix, Arizona on Friday morning and has been released without bond. No alcohol was found in his system, and a DUI-drugs charge was not filed pending toxicology tests, reports KVOA.
The former baddest man on the planet told police officers at the scene of the arrest that he is "an addict and has a problem," according to a report on the AOL Entertainment web site TMZ.Com.
The report notes that according to the officer's report of the incident, tests revealed that Tyson was "under the influence of a depressant, stimulant and cannabis."
The report goes on -- "Mike admitted to possessing bags of cocaine and said he uses anytime he can get his hands on it."
The document says Tyson had "two bags of a white powder substance ... in his back left pocket. In addition a bag was located on the driver seat in a Marlboro cigarettes pack."
The cop writes, "I observed a white powder substance on the center console of the vehicle, Mike was wiping the dash off as I approached."
Tyson was arrested in the early morning hours on Friday after almost plowing into a cop car. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said Tyson ran a stop sign and almost hit a deputy.
"He had to slam on his brakes and take evasive action," Arpaio said of the officer. "Luckily the deputy was alert."
Arpaio said Tyson was being kept isolated from other prisoners for his own safety.

Mike Tyson Sentenced on Drug Charge November 19, 2007 - Associated Press
MESA, Ariz. (AP) — Mike Tyson was sentenced Monday to 24 hours in jail and three years' probation for drug possession and driving under the influence.
The former heavyweight champion had pleaded guilty in September to a single felony count of cocaine possession and a misdemeanor DUI count.
"I take responsibility for my actions," Tyson told Superior Court Judge Helene Abrams in an almost inaudible voice before she handed down the sentence.
Tyson, who will begin serving his jail time Tuesday morning, left the courthouse without speaking to reporters.
Tyson had faced a possible maximum sentence of four years and three months in prison. Prosecutor Shane Krausner had recommended one year in prison Monday, saying that Tyson was a multiple offender who previously had been convicted of a violent crime and that only now has he sought treatment for his drug addiction.
"Judge, by my calculations, this is his fourth or fifth chance," Krausner said.
The latest charges stemmed from a traffic stop in Scottsdale on Dec. 29 after the boxer had spent the evening at Scottsdale's Pussycat Lounge and was seen driving erratically. An officer said he saw Tyson wiping a white substance off the dashboard of his black BMW, and that his speech was slurred.
Authorities said they found bags of cocaine in Tyson's pocket and in his car.
Tyson told officers later that he used cocaine "whenever I can get my hands on it," and that he preferred to smoke it in Marlboro cigarettes with the tobacco pulled out, according to court documents. He also told police that he used marijuana that day and was taking the antidepressant Zoloft, the documents state.
Since his arrest, Tyson checked himself into an inpatient treatment program for what his lawyer called "various addictions."
Tyson attorney David Chesnoff said his client had taken 29 drug tests without a relapse since his arrest and that he's attended Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings.
Two of Tyson's former wives also wrote letters to the court asking for leniency.
Abrams said Monday that she was impressed that Tyson was seeking therapy for his drug addiction. "You worked to address your addiction and self-destructive behavior," Abrams said.
County Attorney Andrew Thomas had said after the plea was entered that Tyson should be put in prison, noting that Tyson was convicted of rape in Indiana in 1992 and pleaded no contest to misdemeanor assault charges in Maryland in 1999.
In 1986, Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history when, at 20, he knocked out Trevor Berbick. He lost his title four years later when he was knocked out by James "Buster" Douglas. By 1997, Tyson's career hit a low point when he bit Evander Holyfield's ear during a fight.
Tyson, 41, recently had been trying to revive his career with a series of boxing exhibitions.
