New York CNN —Tyson Foods suspended its CFO John R. Tyson after he was arrested Thursday on charges of DWI and careless driving.
Tyson, the great grandson of the founder of the meat processing company, was previously arrested in 2022 on charges of public intoxication and criminal trespass.
The 34-year-old was booked early Thursday and has since been released, according to the Washington County, Arkansas, Detention Intake Report.
“We are aware that John Randal Tyson, Chief Financial Officer of Tyson Foods, was arrested for an alleged DWI,” the company said in a statement Thursday.
“Tyson Foods has suspended Mr. Tyson from his duties effective immediately and named Curt Calaway as interim Chief Financial Officer.”Back in 2022, Tyson was charged after he allegedly wandered into the wrong home and fell asleep.
