Mike Tyson will not face fees in altercation with JetBlue passenger, district attorney says

A California district legal professional declined to file expenses Tuesday in opposition to former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson after he was recorded on video in a bodily altercation with one other 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. Both the passenger, who has not been recognized, and Tyson requested that no prices be filed.

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

"Our determination is that we'll not file any charges against Mr. Tyson based mostly on the circumstances surrounding the confrontation. These include the conduct of the victim main up to the incident, the interplay between Mr. Tyson and the sufferer, in addition to the requests of both the sufferer and Mr. Tyson that no fees be filed in this case," Wagstaffe said.

The case is now closed.

Cellphone video confirmed Tyson, 55, appearing to try to punch somebody who was pushing him away. Representatives for Tyson mentioned the individual was harassing Tyson. The video did not present what happened earlier than 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 companies "for his or her careful, diligent, and professional work."
