FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — A Fayetteville executive has left his position with a high-profile food company following his involvement in an incident in a Fayetteville parking garage following an Arkansas Razorbacks football game last month.
According to Ozarks First, 53-year-old Doug Ramsey was suspended as the COO of Beyond Meat on September 20. He was arrested on September 17 on charges of terroristic threatening and third-degree battery after he allegedly got out of his vehicle in a parking garage near Razorback Stadium, punched through the rear windshield of a Subaru that had cut in front of him, bit the owner’s nose and threatened to kill him, according to court documents.
A Beyond Meat filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission from September 23 revealed that Jonathan Nelson would lead the company’s operations and supply chain on a permanent business moving forward. Ramsey was named the company’s COO in December 2021 and his last official day with the company is October 14.
The plant-based meat substitute company has seen its stock price struggle recently, falling over 66% in the past six months.
Ramsey has an appearance in Fayetteville District Court scheduled for October 19.
