Tyson sentenced

Mesa (U.S.): Mike Tyson was sentenced to 24 hours in jail and three years’ probation for cocaine possession and driving under the influence.

The former heavyweight champion had pleaded guilty in September to a single felony count of cocaine possession and a misdemeanor DUI count.

“I take responsibility for my actions,” Tyson told Superior Court Judge Helene Abrams in an almost inaudible voice before she handed down the sentence on Monday.

Tyson left the courthouse without speaking to reporters.

Tyson had faced a possible maximum sentence of four years and three months in prison. Tyson, 41, recently had been trying to revive his career with a series of boxing exhibitions. — AP
