SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Former heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson, 38, was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor criminal damage for allegedly jumping on the hood of a car outside of city nightclub, police said Wednesday.

Tyson, who moved to Scottsdale earlier this year, appeared with attorneys at the city's police station Tuesday afternoon and was released after being given a citation.

Scottsdale police detective Sam Bailey said Wednesday that Tyson likely will make an initial court appearance in the case within 10 days.

Police said the arrest stemmed from an investigation into an incident late last month at the Pussycat Lounge.

Tyson allegedly dented the hood of a car when he jumped on it as its driver was leaving the club around 1 a.m. on Nov. 27.

Police said it was unclear if Tyson and the other man fought inside the club before the incident or if they knew each other.

The 22-year-old victim, whose name was not immediately released, reported the incident to police and claimed a body shop estimated the hood damage at $1,400, Bailey said.

The case was then forwarded to detectives.

Tyson is beginning to train for a fight in March, his first since being knocked out by Danny Williams in July.

i hate mike tyson, but it has to suck to have the world hate you so much you get arrested for something as stupid as jumping on the hood of a car.

I think the arrest is merely a formality. Someone like Tyson could pay the damage from his small change, and he really ought to be used to his own stupidity by now.

Except he was in debt like crazy, and i dont think he's smart enough to get out of it yet. If i was mike tyson, i would not touch or say anything to anyone ,because you know the police will be coming to arrest you.
