John R. Tyson was suspended from his role as chief financial officer of Tyson Foods Inc. after he was charged with alleged drunken driving — the second arrest involving intoxication charges in the past two years.
Tyson, the great-grandson of the company’s founder, was previously arrested in late 2022 after a woman found him asleep in her home in northwestern Arkansas. He was charged with public intoxication and criminal trespassing.
