John R. Tyson, the chief financial officer of Tyson Foods Inc. and great-grandson of the company’s founder, is “embarrassed” after being arrested Sunday for public intoxication and criminal trespassing.
Tyson, 32, in a memo to the company first reported by the Associated Press, said the conduct was “inconsistent with my personal values, the company’s values and the high expectations we hold for each other.”
