CHICAGO (Reuters) – Tyson Foods Chief Financial Officer John Tyson was arrested for criminal trespassing and public intoxication on Sunday, according to a police report.
A college-aged female was alarmed to have found Tyson, 32, in her house uninvited, according to the Fayetteville, Arkansas, police report.
John Tyson, great-grandson of the company’s founder, was named CFO in September. Shares of the largest U.S. meat producer were down 1.3% on Monday.
The police report cited “Tyson’s unlawful presence in a house, where he was not invited, paired with the odor of intoxicants, and his general demeanor when confronted by uniformed officers.”
The company said in a statement it was aware of the incident and called it a personal matter. John Tyson could not immediately be reached for comment. He is summoned to court on Dec. 1, according to the police report.
