SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Mike Tyson was arrested for driving under the influence and possession of cocaine after police stopped him leaving a Scottsdale nightclub early Friday.
Sgt. Larry Hall said the heavyweight boxer was stopped after his car almost struck a sheriff's vehicle while leaving the club at about 1:45 a.m.
"He showed signs of impairment, and voluntarily submitted to field sobriety tests," said Hall, a member of the Buckeye Police Department who was working in the area as part of a holiday DUI task force.
Hall said Tyson was placed under arrest after "showing more signs of impairment" during the field sobriety tests.
Police subsequently searched Tyson and found cocaine on him and in his car.
No one else was with Tyson at the time, Hall said.
Tyson was booked at a Maricopa County sheriff's jail, and he was expected to have an initial appearance before a judge later Friday to determine bail, Hall said.

not that i follow boxing that closely but i think tyson was (while in his prime) one of the best boxers ever. it's too bad he turned into such a piece of crap.
I think Tyson is someone who will committ suicide at some point. I don't wish this on anybody but he is one that fits the profile of a person that will give up and mail it in. The good news I don't think he will take anybody else with him. I am no mental expert or anything like that but I can see it coming.
Some people never learn.
maybe he like being locked up in IN!!
We went to Las Vegas during the rodeo finals and spent a week at the Wynn Casino and he was there the whole time we were. The people at the Wynn said he had been there for about a month. Homeless maybe????
His life has definitely gone downhill after the rape conviction many years ago.
That's a good place for him behind bars
