Mike Tyson checked into an Arizona jail on Tuesday to serve his 24-hour prison term he got for charges of drug possession and driving under the influence.

The 41-year-old former heavyweight champion was given the 24 hours, three years probation sentence and was also ordered to perform 360 hours community service after his latest run-in with the law. “Iron” Mike was pulled over at a traffic stop and he was seen wiping a white substance from his dashboard. He later acknowledged in court that the white substance was cocaine and he was impaired in the night when the incident happened. He was leaving the Scottsdale's Pussycat Lounge nightclub and was stopped for reckless driving in Scottsdale on Dec. 29.

The place where Tyson will serve his one-day sentence is a facility known as Tent City in Phoenix. He will be kept apart from the other 1,500 inmates during his stay, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said.

Unlike other similar cases in Hollywood, where celebrities were given an on-day sentence and then were liberated after just a few hours, Tyson will serve the whole term, Sheriff Arpaio added.

"We don't house celebrities for 84 minutes like they do in Hollywood," Arpaio said.

The police officer that pulled Tyson over said he saw the super-star boxer wiping a white substance off the dashboard of his black BMW, and when he addressed him he realized Tyson had difficulties articulating words. According to the official statement, bags of cocaine were found in Mike's pocket and in his car.

In the dialog with the police officers that followed, Tyson said he used cocaine "whenever I can get my hands on it," and despite he was having eloquence problems he bragged about his way of smoking it.

Just for the record, Mike prefers to smoke cocaine in Marlboro cigarettes with the tobacco pulled out, the court documents read. He also smoked marijuana that day and was taking the antidepressant Zoloft.

According to David Chesnoff, Tyson’s attorney, the former champion had taken 29 drug tests without a relapse since he was arrested on Dec. 29. He also has attended Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings.
