Former world heavyweight champion
Mike Tyson, seen here October 2004, could face 5 3/4 years behind bars
after being cited by police on suspicion of felony criminal damage in a
nightclub incident.[AFP] | Tyson, who moved to
Scottsdale early this year, appeared with attorneys at the city's police station
Tuesday afternoon and was released after being given a citation.
Scottsdale police detective Sam Bailey said Wednesday that Tyson likely will
make an initial court appearance within 10 days.
Police said the arrest stemmed from an investigation into an incident late
last month at a lounge.
Tyson allegedly dented the hood of a car when he jumped on it as its driver
was leaving the club around 1 a.m. on Nov. 27.
Police said it was unclear if Tyson and the other man fought inside the club
before the incident or if they knew each other.
The 22-year-old victim, whose name was not immediately released, reported the
incident to police and claimed a body shop estimated the hood damage at $1,400,
Bailey said.
The case was then forwarded to detectives.
Tyson, 38, is beginning to train for a fight in March, his first since being
knocked out by Danny Williams in July.
