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

A California district legal professional declined to file fees Tuesday in opposition to former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson after he was recorded on video in a physical altercation with another passenger on a JetBlue flight.

San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe made the choice after having reviewed police experiences and videos of the April 20 incident. Both the passenger, who has not been recognized, and Tyson requested that no prices be filed.

"Yesterday afternoon the San Mateo County District Legal professional’s Office concluded its assessment of the case involving Mike Tyson on the San Francisco Airport on April 20, 2022 and the allegation that he dedicated a misdemeanor battery against another passenger on an airplane while waiting at the terminal previous to departure," Wagstaffe mentioned in an announcement.

"Our resolution is that we will not file any charges against Mr. Tyson based on the circumstances surrounding the confrontation. These include the conduct of the sufferer leading as much as the incident, the interplay between Mr. Tyson and the sufferer, as well as the requests of each the sufferer and Mr. Tyson that no expenses be filed on this case," Wagstaffe stated.

The case is now closed.

Cellphone video showed Tyson, 55, showing to attempt to punch somebody who was pushing him away. Representatives for Tyson said the individual was harassing Tyson. The video did not present what occurred before the altercation.

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