Tyson Foods CFO Arrested After Falling Asleep In Wrong House
In today’s edition of weird news, it appears that Tyson Foods (NYSE: TSN) has seen its recently appointed chief financial officer get arrested. For sleeping in the wrong house.
John R. Tyson, whom is the son of Tyson Foods chairman John H. Tyson, was arrested Sunday morning when he was found to be sleeping in a woman’s bed at her home. The arrest report describes that the front door of the house was unlocked, and when the woman arrived at her home she discovered Tyson was sleeping in her back bedroom with his clothes in front of the bed.
The two parties reportedly do not know each other.
When police attempted to wake Tyson, he did not verbally respond and is reported to have had alcohol on his breath, while his body movements are said to have been sluggish and uncoordinated.
The official arrest records state that Tyson was arrested for public intoxication and criminal trespass, with Tyson then released on a $415 bond Sunday evening. He was held at the Washington County Detention Center in the interim.
