Heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was arrested early Friday in Scottsdale, Arizona. He was suspected of driving under the influence and was in possession of cocaine.

Local police stopped Tyson after he left a nightclub and almost drove into a sheriff’s vehicle at about 1:45 a.m., said Sgt. Larry Hall.

“He showed signs of impairment and voluntarily submitted to field sobriety tests,” said Hall. The field tests revealed “more signs of impairment” and Tyson was put under arrest. Then, police found cocaine in his car.

Tyson was booked at the Maricopa County jail and was scheduled to appear in court Friday morning, said Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Tyson has previously served time in jail on a charge of rape.
