According to the Daily Mail, Mike Tyson can breathe a sigh of relief because he won’t be charged for getting into an altercation with a fan who chucked a water bottle at him while onboard a JetBlue flight in California last month. This all happened after a fan tried to provoke him which resulted in Tyson throwing hands. However, one source told the New York Post that Tyson’s punch wasn’t enough to cause the man, Melvin Townsend III, some serious damage. The tipster said, “Mike is not a monster …. This little a–hole taunted him, provoked him and before he did that, Mike was so nice with him. He politely asked him to let him be, and he kept taunting Mike over and over.”
San Mateo County District Attorney Stephen M. Wagstaffe told TMZ that the charges against Tyson will be dropped because of “the conduct of the victim leading up to the incident, the interaction between Mr. Tyson and the victim, as well as the requests of both the victim and Mr. Tyson.” It seems like Tyson has learned to keep his cool, even when someone is making him mad.
