Tyson Restricted To Ohio

Fri., April 12, 1996

Compiled From Wire Services

Mike Tyson was restricted to the state of Ohio, where he makes his home, while police in Chicago investigate a complaint of sexual misconduct allegedly committed by the fighter early Monday morning.

Although the World Boxing Council heavyweight champion has not been charged or indicted, he has been grounded by parole officials for 30 to 60 days. Tyson lives in Southfield, Ohio, and George Walker, a parole official, said Thursday: “He’s stuck in Ohio unless it’s something of really imminent need.”

Walker is the chief probation officer for the Marion County Superior Court’s criminal division in Indianapolis, where Tyson was found guilty of rape in 1992. He served three years.
