Iron Mike Tyson May Go To Jail For Defending His Family

After watching Mike Tyson on Oprah Winfrey I thought that the days of negative press was behind him. Well it would appear that I was wrong. I guess that the champ is still a big attention grabber for the media. According to anonymous sources the champ ended up going one round with a photographer at LAX International Airport. The sad part about this little situation is that it could land the champ back in jail if it is determined that this is 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.

Both Tyson and the photographer Tony Echeverria both claimed they were struck Wednesday during an altercation. Reports say that only the photographer was treated for minor injuries. One report said the photographer suffered from a small cut to the forehead.

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.

Mike Tyson had a, ummm little run in with the law a few years back. He had pleaded guilty to cocaine possession and driving under the influence charges.

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 Tyson's spokeswoman Mrs. Tammy Brook, the champ was traveling with his wife and 10 month old child when he was attacked by an extremely 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.

Personally I understand that the paparazzi's are just doing there job, however my question is a simple one. At what point should it be considered crossing the line as far a paparazzi's are concerned? I also understand that the are entitled to their freedom of speech and all of that mumble jumble, but be honest... Some of them take things too far.
