World’s Bravest Cop

Is the Sherrif’s Deputy that works for Buckeye Police Department. He singlehandedly took a coked-up Mike Tyson off the street and into jail. Apparently Tyson almost backed into the police car at a club where the Deputy was working overtime in a Holiday DUI Task force. The cop saw Tyson brushing white powder from the dash of his Beamer and during a search found two baggies of cocaine in Tyson’s back pocket.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Mike Tyson, 40, was arrested early Friday on suspicion of driving under the influence and possession of cocaine after police stopped him shortly after he left a Scottsdale nightclub, police said.

Tyson was stopped after his car almost struck a sheriff’s vehicle while leaving the club at about 1:45 a.m., said Sgt. Larry Hall.

“He showed signs of impairment and voluntarily submitted to field sobriety tests,” said Hall, a member of the Buckeye Police Department who was working in the area as part of a holiday DUI task force.

Hall said Tyson, who was alone, was placed under arrest after “showing more signs of impairment” during the field sobriety tests. Police then found cocaine on him and in his car, Hall said.

According to a police probable cause statement filed in court, the officer said he saw Tyson trying to wipe a white powder off the console of his BMW. During a search, the officer found two bags of white powder in Tyson’s back pocket, the statement said.

“He said he was an addict and had a problem,” the report said. “He admitted possessing the bags of cocaine, and said he uses it anytime he can get his hands on it.“

No word yet on whether or not Tyson threatened to eat the officer’s children.
