A Tyson Foods executive was suspended following an arrest in Arkansas early Thursday morning.
John Randal Tyson, who served as the company’s chief financial officer and is the great-grandson of the founder, was arrested for driving while intoxicated by the University of Arkansas Police Department around 1:30 a.m. Thursday, according to jail records.
He was released from custody nine hours later after paying a $1,105 bond.
Tyson Foods released a statement addressing Tyson’s arrest, stating that the company was aware of the “arrest for an alleged DWI.”
“Tyson Foods has suspended Mr. Tyson from his duties effective immediately,” the statement reads.
