Tyson faces jail if scuffle is deemed a violation
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Mike Tyson's run-in with a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport could send him to jail if he violated probation from a drug case in Arizona.
A probation official from Maricopa County, Ariz., said Thursday that his office will start court proceedings if it's determined Tyson violated parole.
The former heavyweight champ and photographer Tony Echeverria both claim they were struck during a Wednesday altercation. The photographer was treated for a cut forehead.
The two were booked by airport police on suspicion of misdemeanor battery and released. The city attorney will decide whether to file charges.
Tyson is on probation after pleading guilty to cocaine possession and driving under the influence in Arizona two years ago.
