Mike Tyson Checks Himself Into Rehab

By CHRIS KAHN
Associated Press Writer
PHOENIX ? Mike Tyson has checked himself into an inpatient treatment program for "various addictions" while awaiting trial on drug charges, his lawyer said Wednesday.
"He needed to get involved in something that would help him with his addiction," attorney David Chesnoff said. Chesnoff wouldn't describe Tyson's addictions, but police said the former heavyweight champion told officers that he used cocaine frequently.
Chesnoff said Tyson checked himself into an undisclosed facility shortly after appearing in a Phoenix courtroom.

The terms of Mike Tyson's plea agreement, entered Monday in an Arizona court, included the dropping of a felony charge of possession of drug paraphernalia and a second misdemeanor DUI charge.

MESA, Ariz. -- Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson pleaded guilty Monday to charges of drug possession and driving under the influence stemming from a traffic stop last year as he was leaving a nightclub.
In a hushed voice, Tyson, 41, told Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Helene F. Abrams that he was under the influence of alcohol and cocaine when officers stopped him for driving erratically Dec. 29 in Scottsdale.
"I had possession of cocaine, and I drove under the influence," he told the judge, his voice barely audible.
Tyson pleaded guilty to a single felony count of cocaine possession and a misdemeanor DUI count. A felony charge of possession of drug paraphernalia and a second misdemeanor DUI charge were dropped, according to the terms of a plea agreement.
Tyson faces a maximum of four years and three months in prison when he is sentenced Nov. 19.
