Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson faced drug charges today after being arrested by Arizona police in the early hours of this morning.
The 40-year-old was stopped by police after he nearly crashed into a sheriff's car outside a nightclub in the town of Scottsdale.
He was charged this morning with driving under the influence of drugs and possession of cocaine.
"(Tyson) was actually very co-operative, very calm, and just acted like a complete gentleman," the Reuters news agency reported Sgt Larry Hill of the Buckeye police department as saying.
Tyson served three years of a six-year prison sentence between 1992 and 1995 for the rape of a beauty queen in 1991.
