Ramsey allegedly punched through the back windshield of a Subaru after it made contact with the front tire of Ramsey's car. The Subaru owner then got out of his car, and Ramsey allegedly started punching him and bit his nose, "ripping the flesh on the tip of the nose," according to the report. The victim and a witness also alleged that Ramsey told the Subaru owner he would kill him.
Campus police declined to comment to CNBC, citing an ongoing investigation.
Ramsey has been the operating chief of Beyond Meat since December. The food company has been facing skepticism from investors over disappointing sales, operating challenges and its long-term growth prospects. The stock has fallen 73% this year, dragging its market down to $1.09 billion. Just three years ago, the company was valued at $13.4 billion.
Prior to joining the maker of meat alternatives, Ramsey spent three decades at Tyson Foods, overseeing its poultry and McDonald's businesses. Tyson's headquarters are in Springdale, Arkansas.

If you made this up as a spoof, people would think it was a little too on the nose... _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel

Beyond Meat exec Doug Ramsey leaves company after arrest for allegedly biting man’s nose, punching Subaru
Chief Operating Officer Doug Ramsey, who had been suspended following an arrest for assault, has left the company.
Ramsey left the company effective Friday, weeks after he was arrested for allegedly biting a man’s nose following a college football game in Arkansas, the company said in a regulatory filing.
The company had originally suspended Ramsey after the arrest became public last month. The next court date in the case is Nov. 14. CNBC has reached out to Ramsey for comment.
The announcement came as Beyond Meat, whose sales and share price have been struggling, unveiled broad layoffs and the departures of other top executives.
In September, Ramsey was charged with making terroristic threats and third-degree battery after allegedly assaulting a driver in a parking garage near Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Police said Ramsey punched through the back windshield of a Subaru after it hit the front tire of Ramsey’s car, according to a police report. Ramsey then allegedly punched the Subaru driver and bit his nose, “ripping the flesh on the tip of the nose,” the report said. Police also said the victim and a witness also claimed Ramsey told the Subaru driver he would kill him.
Ramsey joined Beyond Meat in December. He spent three decades at Tyson Foods, where he oversaw its poultry and McDonald’s businesses.
The company said in the filing said Jonathan Nelson, its senior vice president of manufacturing operations, will permanently oversee Beyond’s operations activities. He took over Ramsey’s role on an interim basis last month.
Beyond Meat did not immediately return a request for comment.
