Tyson Foods said it suspended its chief financial officer, John R. Tyson, after he was arrested early Thursday on charges of driving while intoxicated, The Wall Street Journal’s Patrick Thomas reports. The arrest comes about a year and a half after the 34-year-old executive, who is also the son of the company’s chairman, was arrested after police found him asleep in the wrong house. Tyson apologized at the time, and said he would seek counseling on alcohol usage, the author notes.
