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.
A Maricopa County, AZ, probation official, said that his office will start court proceedings to determine if Tyson may have violated his parole.
Both Tyson and the photographer Tony Echeverria both claimed they were struck Wednesday during an altercation. Reports say that only the photographer was treated for minor injuries. One report said the photographer suffered from a small cut to the forehead.
Both men were booked by airport police on suspicion of a misdemeanor battery and then released. The future of both men is up to the city attorney, to 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.
An on the spot Jackin4Beats reader text from his cell phone to say that Tyson was extremely corporative with airport police, and after taking their 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.
Mrs. Brooks went on to say that Mike was just acting in self defense as any father protecting his child 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!
