Tyson was previously arrested for alleged public intoxication and trespassing after he entered a woman’s home and fell asleep in her bed in November 2022, USA TODAY previously reported.
A woman called police after she entered her home and said a man, who she did not know, was asleep in her bed, according to a preliminary report obtained by USA TODAY. Tyson was allegedly asleep in a bedroom in the house, with his clothing on the floor when police arrived. Authorities looked at the man's driver license and identified him as Tyson.
“Tyson was not invited to stay at the residence and the occupants did not know who he was,” the report stated. He was sluggish and wanted to go to sleep, according to the report.
He was placed under arrest for criminal trespassing and public intoxication, USA TODAY reported.
