Mike Tyson will not face prices in altercation with JetBlue passenger, district legal professional says

A California district attorney declined to file prices Tuesday against former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson after he was recorded on video in a bodily altercation with another passenger on a JetBlue flight.

San Mateo County District Legal professional Steve Wagstaffe made the decision after having reviewed police reviews and videos of the April 20 incident. Each the passenger, who has not been recognized, and Tyson requested that no fees be filed.

"Yesterday afternoon the San Mateo County District Lawyer’s Workplace concluded its assessment of the case involving Mike Tyson on the San Francisco Airport on April 20, 2022 and the allegation that he committed a misdemeanor battery against another passenger on an airplane whereas waiting at the terminal prior to departure," Wagstaffe mentioned in a press release.

"Our choice is that we are going to not file any charges in opposition to Mr. Tyson based mostly on the circumstances surrounding the confrontation. These include the conduct of the sufferer leading up to the incident, the interaction between Mr. Tyson and the victim, as well as the requests of both the sufferer and Mr. Tyson that no expenses be filed on this case," Wagstaffe mentioned.

The case is now closed.

Cellphone video confirmed Tyson, 55, appearing to attempt to punch somebody who was pushing him away. Representatives for Tyson mentioned the person was harassing Tyson. The video didn't show what happened earlier than the altercation.

David Chesnoff, Richard Schonfeld and Martin Sabelli, attorneys for Tyson, responded to the choice to not file charges by thanking Wagstaffe, the San Mateo County sheriff and law enforcement companies "for his or her cautious, diligent, and professional work."
