Mike Tyson - boxing's latest Greek tragedy

Mike Tyson has been arrested and charged with felony cocaine possession in Phoenix, Arizona. At this point, can anyone be surprised by anything when it comes to Tyson?

Officers found two bags of a white substance in his back pocket, and let's just say they weren't Domino Confectioners Sugar.

"He said he was an addict and had a problem," said a police statement filed in Maricopa County Superior Court. "He admitted possessing the bags of cocaine, and said he uses it anytime he can get his hands on it."

The former king of the ring was arrested early Friday morning, after nearly ramming a police SUV, on suspicion of DUI after he left a Scottsdale nightclub. According to the report, an officer saw Tyson trying to wipe a white powder off the console of his BMW as he approached.

It looks like Iron Mike is headed back to prison, and few could argue that's where he belongs. He truly is an animal who should be locked up. From rape, to biting off the ear of Evander Holyfield to drug possession, it's puzzling to me why he's still walking the streets in the first place.

It's just another sad example of celebrities receiving special treatment in our judicial system. If John or Joan Q. Public had committed even one of these serious crimes, he or she would be behind bars for years if not decades, and deservedly so.

However, Tyson continues to evade justice. Maybe this time he will get what he should have years ago. He may be unable to pronounce a long sentence, but I sure hope a judge gives him one.
