Mike Tyson was sentenced to ten days in jail for driving under the influence and cocaine possession, but will only be required to serve one day. He could have been sent to jail for 3.75 years for drug charge and six months for DUI. Tyson was placed on probation for three years for each count and he must perform the equivalent of 45 days of community service, pay a fine and submit to regular drug testing.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Helene Abrams said she was impressed that Tyson sought help immediately after his arrest and has since used his sports celebrity to teach young adults about drug addiction.
