It's just that guys who earn hundreds of millions of dollars don't carry cash. They have entourages of people to do that, and somebody failed to cover the boss' sweet tooth.

Tyson's Phoenix-based attorney said Monday that the ``nonstory'' involved a misunderstanding between Tyson and an assistant manager of the store at 40736 Village Drive.

``Mike was in the store (Friday), grabbed some candy, put it in his pocket under the assumption that one of his staff had paid for it,'' Darrow Soll said. ``He wasn't aware the candy was not purchased. His staff has been told to pay for anything he grabs. His staff didn't see him take the candy.''

Subsequently, in a press release put out over his signature, Soll said Tyson, 35, ``directed one of his staff members to pay for some candy. The staff member was confused about the amount of the purchase. Mike later resolved the matter.''

Soll said Tyson apologized to store owner Anthony Perillo on Saturday afternoon.
