The man who helped Mike Tyson become heavyweight champion of the world is facing drunk driving charges.

Coxsackie police said they arrested Kevin Rooney Friday night. Rooney is charged with felony DWI and aggravated unlicensed operation of a car.

Police said he had a blood alcohol content level that was more than .10 when he was pulled over.

Rooney posted $750 bail, and is scheduled to be in court on Wednesday evening.

Rooney was a state Golden Gloves champion who became Mike Tyson's trainer in 1982.

This is the latest in a series of alcohol-related charges against him over the years.
