CA's Beyond Meat Executive Charged With Biting Man's Nose

EL SEGUNDO, CA — Southern California's Beyond Meat says it has suspended a top executive indefinitely after he was accused of biting a man's nose after a fight outside a college football game.

Doug Ramsey, 53 was charged with felony battery and with making a terroristic threat after he reportedly attacked a man in a parking garage outside a University of Arkansas football game in Fayetteville.

Police said Ramsey became angry after another driver inched in front of him in a traffic lane and made contact with the front passenger wheel on his Ford Bronco SUV.

Ramsey then got out of his vehicle, punched through the back windshield of the other driver's car and approached the driver, who had gotten out of his car. Ramsey reportedly pulled him close and began punching him. He then bit the tip of the driver's nose, ripping the flesh off, according to the police report.

Witnesses and the driver reported that Ramsey threatened to kill the other man. Passengers of both vehicles got out and attempted to separate the two men.

Ramsey was released Sunday on a $11,085 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 19.

After spending more than 30 years at Springdale, Arkansas-based Tyson Foods, Ramsey joined Beyond Meat as chief operating officer late last year.
