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

A California district lawyer declined to file prices Tuesday towards former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson after he was recorded on video in a physical altercation with another passenger on a JetBlue flight.

San Mateo County District Legal professional Steve Wagstaffe made the decision after having reviewed police experiences and videos of the April 20 incident. Both the passenger, who has not been identified, and Tyson requested that no costs be filed.

"Yesterday afternoon the San Mateo County District Lawyer’s Workplace concluded its assessment of the case involving Mike Tyson at the San Francisco Airport on April 20, 2022 and the allegation that he committed a misdemeanor battery against one other passenger on an airplane while waiting on the terminal previous to departure," Wagstaffe said in a statement.

"Our determination is that we will not file any expenses towards Mr. Tyson based on the circumstances surrounding the confrontation. These embody the conduct of the victim leading 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 prices be filed on this case," Wagstaffe said.

The case is now closed.

Cellphone video showed Tyson, 55, showing to attempt to punch someone who was pushing him away. Representatives for Tyson stated the person was harassing Tyson. The video did not present what happened before the altercation.

David Chesnoff, Richard Schonfeld and Martin Sabelli, attorneys for Tyson, responded to the choice to not file costs by thanking Wagstaffe, the San Mateo County sheriff and regulation enforcement businesses "for their careful, diligent, and professional work."
