WATCH: Bodycam footage shows arrest of Tyson Food CFO John Tyson after passing out in stranger’s bed

On November 18, Friday, Law & Crime released bodycam footage depicting the arrest of John Tyson, the 32-year-old Tyson Foods Chief Financial Officer, who was accused of passing out on a stranger's bed while intoxicated.

According to Vice News, on November 6, John Tyson was arrested in Fayetteville, Arkansas, after a night of drinking led him to illegally enter a woman's house, where he was discovered by officers asleep in her bed.

In the footage, officers approach a sleeping John Tyson in the woman's room and attempt to wake him up. The CFO, who appears to still be intoxicated, attempts to get up before lying back down on the bed.

One officer can be heard saying:

"John, Fayetteville Police Department. You are not in your house."

When Tyson didn't respond, an officer said:

“John! I need you to wake up and talk to me before I drag you out of here b*tt naked.”

Eventually, when they realized Tyson was not responding coherently, they handcuffed and detained him. He was charged with criminal trespass and public intoxication.
