Beyond Meat COO arrested for allegedly biting man’s nose after Arkansas college football game

A Beyond Meat executive seemingly wanted a taste of the real thing.

Doug Ramsey, chief operating officer of the plant-based meat substitute company, was arrested over the weekend after allegedly biting another man’s nose in a road-rage confrontation after the University of Arkansas football game.

Ramsey, 53, was charged with third-degree battery and making terrorist threats and released on bail, according to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.

The COO was trying to leave a parking garage near Razorback Stadium late Saturday when another car “inched his way” in front of Ramsey’s Bronco and tapped the front passenger’s side tire, according to an arrest affidavit obtained Monday by KNWA.

Ramsey allegedly responded by getting out of his car and punching out the back windshield of the Subaru. When the other driver got out of his car, Ramsey “pulled him in close and started punching his body,” then “bit the owner’s nose, ripping the flesh on the tip of the nose,” according to the police report.

A spokesperson for Beyond Meat did not immediately return a request for comment from the Daily News.
