• Tyson Foods CFO John Tyson was arrested Sunday in Arkansas after allegedly becoming intoxicated.
• He was also arrested on trespassing after a woman who didn't know him found him asleep in her bed.

John Tyson, chief financial officer of Tyson Foods, was arrested in Arkansas after he allegedly became intoxicated and fell asleep in the bed of a woman who didn't know him.

Tyson, 32, was found asleep around 2am in a stranger's home, according to a preliminary arrest report obtained by Insider. The woman, who the report notes is "college age" called police and said she believed Tyson was able to enter her home because the front door was unlocked. He was identified by his drivers license.

When police tried to wake Tyson up, he sat up but was unable to verbally respond, then tried to go back to sleep. The police report said that Tyson's breath and body had the smell of alcohol, and he was "sluggish and uncoordinated."

Tyson was charged with public intoxication and criminal trespass, and released Sunday evening after being held in the Washington County Detention Center.

Tyson Foods did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. A representative for the company told KNWA and other outlets that it was aware of the incident, but has no additional comment because it "is a personal matter."

Tyson was named CFO of Tyson Foods on October 2, after serving as executive vice president of strategy and chief sustainability officer. His father, John H. Tyson, is currently the board chairman for Tyson Foods, and previously served as the company's chief executive from 2000 t0 2006.

He is also the great-grandson of Tyson Foods founder John W. Tyson. The company is known for tapping members of the Tyson family to lead and is largely controlled by the family, according to The Wall Street Journal.

At the time of Tyson's appointment, a company spokesperson told the WSJ there was no conflict of interest.

Tyson is the second C-suite food executive who has been arrested in the past two months. In September, Beyond Meat suspended its chief operating officer after he was arrested after allegedly biting "the flesh" off a man's nose during a road rage incident at a football game.

Doug Ramsey was arrested and charged with 3rd-degree battery and terroristic threatening. Ramsey, who formerly worked at Tyson Foods, was fired along with 19% of Beyond Meat's workforce in October.
