Tyson Foods CFO John Tyson told the company's investors he's "embarrassed" and takes "full responsibility" after he was arrested for allegedly becoming intoxicated and trespassing in the home of a woman who didn't know him.

"I'm embarrassed, and I want to let you know that I take full responsibility for my actions," he said on the company's quarterly call with investors Monday. "I also want to apologize to our investors as I have to our employees. This was an incident inconsistent with our company values as well as my personal values. I just wanted you guys to hear this directly from me and to know that I'm committed to making sure this never happens again."

Tyson Foods CEO Donnie King said a "thorough review" of Tyson's actions is being done by the company's independent board of directors.

Tyson, 32, was arrested last Sunday in Arkansas. He was found asleep in a stranger's bed around 2am, according to a preliminary arrest report obtained by Insider.

The home where Tyson was found belongs to a woman who said she didn't know him. She said she believed Tyson was able to get inside because her front door was unlocked. The report said Tyson was identified from his drivers license. He was released later that evening after being charged with public intoxication and criminal trespass.
