He had left a nightclub shortly before the incident occurred.Tyson appeared in County Superior Court in Phoenix a short while later. He was released without bond on a felony drug possession charge. The DUI charges are pending his toxicology test results.
While the case is pending Tyson must succumb to drug and alcohol testing.
During his hearing he actually thanked Commissioner Sheila Madden. He did not enter a plea and did not have a lawyer.
"He showed signs of impairment and voluntarily submitted to field sobriety tests," the arresting offer said.
He also stated that Tyson was "showing more signs of impairment" while performing field sobriety tests.
So police then searched Tyson & his BMW, where they found cocaine. And how. A bag of cocaine in each of Mike's back pockets, and a baggie in a cigarette box on the front seat. Tyson had also been wiping a white substance off of his dash when police approached his vehicle.
The officer also stated that tests showed that Mike was "under the influence of a depressant, stimulant and cannabis."
Tyson admitted remorsefully that he "was an addict" and "has a problem." He admitted possessing the bags of cocaine, and said he uses it "anytime (he) can get his hands on it."
I feel bad for the guy. He is screwed up. Big time.
I've told you all before that I met the guy in Vegas, and he was nothing but cool as hell to my husband and I. Tyson and I talked for a bit about tattoos, and just down to earth stuff. He even let me get a picture..to his bodyguards dismay.
I got the feeling that he was really a good guy deep down. Just really damaged. And it sounds like he is truly sorry for where he is at in life right now.
It's too bad, because there isn't a lot of hope for him right now. I'm probably one of the only people who won't be talking snidely about him today.
I truly hope he finally gets the help that he so desperately needs.
