TYSON PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO DRUG AND DRIVING CHARGES

Former heavyweight boxing champion MIKE TYSON yesterday (22JAN06) pleaded not guilty to drug offences and driving under the influence.

MIKE TYSON

The 40-year-old was indicted on felony possession of narcotics, felony possession of drug paraphernalia and two misdemeanour counts of driving under the influence of drugs after police found three bags of cocaine in his car last December (06), after stopping him for dangerous driving in Arizona.

Tyson spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth before Maricopa County Superior Court officials entered the plea on his behalf.

Maricopa County Attorney ANDREW THOMAS warned Tyson he is seeking a prison sentence if he is convicted of the charges.

He said, "He has run out of second chances, at least in my book."

If found guilty of all charges, Tyson could face seven-and-a-half years behind bars.
