Legendary boxer and rapist Mike Tyson has been ordered to stand trial in August for drug possession charges stemming from a Scottsdale, Arizona arrest last year. Apparently being the most famous video game character every cop has ever played only helps if you’re not also a raving lunatic pretty much all the time.

I can only imagine, but the scene must have gone a little something like this:
Cop says, “Oh wow, you’re Mike Tyson.”
Tyson says, “Shut up and quit bothering me.”
Cop says, “Sir, please step out of the car.”

With as many bullets as he’s caught over the years, it’s hard to imagine how many he’s dodged. For his 1999 assault case, he only served nine-months. Most contenders get millions of dollars from pay-per-view for taking those blows, but the blow that’s got him up against the ropes this time is dope.

Tyson faces a maximum sentence of seven-and-a-half years if convicted on all counts, in which case he is expected to bite the ear off the prosecuting attorney. Judge Mills Lane was unavailable for comment.
