Phoenix ? Former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson was charged Wednesday with drug possession and driving under the influence of drugs, and the Maricopa County prosecutor says he wants to send him to prison.

“He has run out of second chances, at least in my book,” attorney Andrew Thomas said in a news conference.

Tyson, 40, was charged with two felonies for drug possession and two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence of drugs. If convicted of all four charges, he could be sentenced to between 21â4 and 71â2 years.

The charges stem from his arrest Friday in Scottsdale, where Tyson was pulled over after leaving a nightclub. An officer found bags of cocaine in his back pocket and another in a package of cigarettes in his car, according to court records.

Tyson’s arrest was the latest in a string of run-ins with the law, dating more than a decade.

In 1992, Tyson was convicted of rape in Indiana. Six years later, the former boxing champ pleaded no contest to misdemeanor assault charges in Maryland.

Thomas said Tyson’s record made him eligible for prison time instead of Arizona’s drug-treatment programs for nonviolent offenders.

“I don’t take any pleasure out of doing this,” Thomas said. “A week ago, my kids and I were watching ‘Rocky Balboa’ in the movie theater, and we saw Mike Tyson make a cameo appearance in the movie, and now here we are, and he’s looking at going back to prison.”

Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history in 1986, when at 20 he knocked out Trevor Berbick. Four years later he was knocked out by James “Buster” Douglas. By 1997, Tyson’s career hit its low point when he bit Evander Holyfield’s ear during a fight.

Tyson recently got back in the ring for a series of four-round exhibitions. When announcing the world tour, Tyson told reporters he was deep in debt and wondered if people would still pay to watch him fight.

On Friday, Tyson was released without bond after a brief court appearance. He didn’t make any comment to reporters, except to offer a greeting.

The car Tyson was driving was spotted weaving and nearly struck a police SUV after he ran a stop sign early Friday, according to a police probable-cause statement filed in court.
