Tyson off the hook
NZPA-Reuter Los . AnBe Js s Criminal charges will not be brought against the world heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson, accused of hitting a car-park attendant three times in the stomach a city prosecutor said yesterday. Attendant Michael Devine, aged 33, alleged that Tyson hit him after he told the boxer he could not park his white sports car in a space reserved for the owner of a Los Angeles nightclub. But a city prosecutor, Tim Hogan, said he had decided charges would not be filed against Tyson. “There were no witnesses to the incident on behalf of the alleged victim and no visible injuries,” Hogan said. “I just don’t have any more than this guy s word without any injuries.” Tyson, aged 22, denied hitting Devine but did not deny there had been a dispute.
