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.
We put a call into the Maricopa County probation office and although the individual refused to give there name they did tell us that the probation official's office will start court proceedings to determine if Tyson did or didn't violate his parole.
According to the sources on the scene, both Tyson and the photographer Tony Echeverria both claimed that struck during an altercation. Reports say that only the photographer was treated for minor injuries. Another source told Jackin4Beats Magazine that the photographer suffered from a minor cut to his forehead. We were told that the man was treated and released from the hospital.
After the altercation both men were held by airport police on suspicion of a misdemeanor battery, but were released after questioning. We were told that the fate of both men will rest upon the city attorney who will ultimately decide whether to file charges or not.
Most Mike Tyson fans will remember that the former heavyweight champ is currently on probation after he pleaded guilty to a cocaine possession and driving under the influence charge, two years ago in Arizona.
I love the fact that our readers seem to be everywhere around the world. I first heard about this incident via a text message sent to me by one of our readers. The message noted that Tyson was extremely corporative with airport police, and after the police took the 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.
Echeverria's camera was booked as evidence and police also were checking if there was any surveillance video of the incident.
I understand that the paparazzi's are just doing there job, however my question is... At what point should it be considered crossing the line. I understand that they have freedom of speech and all of that but it seems some of them just take things to far. - 29772
