Was I surprised when I got the latest press release about Mike Tyson… Nope! It would appear that his fortune and fame has been a gift and a curse. It would seem that the once heavyweight champ of the world had another bout with a photographer at the Los Angeles International Airport. This little incident could possibly send the champ back to prison because of a probation violation.
I contacted the Maricopa County Probation Office and was told that their office will soon start court proceedings to determine if Tyson did or didn’t violate his parole. Personally I think Mike has been on a pretty good path to putting his life back together. I hope that he pulls through this.
According to the sources on the scene, both Tyson and the photographer Tony Echeverria both claimed that struck during an altercation. Reports say that only the photographer was treated for minor injuries. Another source told Jackin4Beats Magazine that the photographer suffered from a minor cut to his forehead. We were told that the man was treated and released from the hospital.
After the altercation both men were held by airport police on suspicion of a misdemeanor battery, but were released after questioning. We were told that the fate of both men will rest upon the city attorney who will ultimately decide whether to file charges or not.
Mike Tyson had a, ummm little run in with the law a few years back. He had pleaded guilty to cocaine possession and driving under the influence charges.
I love the fact that our readers seem to be everywhere around the world. I first heard about this incident via a text message sent to me by one of our readers. The message noted that Tyson was extremely corporative with airport police, and after the police took the report they let Tyson continue his trip.
According to Tammy Brook, Tyson’s spokeswoman, the former heavyweight champ was traveling with his wife and 10 month old baby when he was attacked by an overly aggressive paparazzi.
Brooks went on to explain to the press that Tyson was doing nothing more than protecting his family, just like any father and husband would.
The airport police confiscated the photographers camera and booked it into evidence. They are also searching for any surveillance video that may have captured what really happened.
I can certainly understand that the paparazzi’s have a job to do. I also understand that they have their rights, and all of that. However the question that I place before you is this… When is to much to much… Where is the line in the sand that the paparazzi’s shouldn’t cross. Personally I think that some paparazzi’s take things a little to far!
