Since the arrest, Tyson has since issued two apologies, one in a company-wide email and one during the food processing company’s Nov. 14, 2022, earnings call. 

“I’m embarrassed, and I want to let you know that I take full responsibility for my action,” he told investors and analysts during the call. “This was an incident inconsistent with our company values, as well as my personal values.”

Neither Tyson Foods nor the city prosecutor’s office of Fayetteville, AR have responded to FOX Business inquiries at this time.
