From the article: [Beyond Meat](https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/BYND/) Chief Operating Officer Doug Ramsey was arrested this weekend after allegedly biting a man’s nose in an Arkansas parking garage following a college football game. Ramsey, 53, was charged with terroristic threatening and third-degree battery and booked in the Washington County jail on Saturday evening. He was released Sunday, according to the Washington County, Arkansas, [information page](https://sheriff.washingtoncountyar.gov/res/Detainee.aspx?bn=2207280). > **[Beyond Meat COO Doug Ramsey arrested for allegedly biting man's nose after...](https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/19/beyond-meat-coo-doug-ramsey-arrested-for-allegedly-biting-mans-nose.html)** > > Beyond Meat Chief Operating Officer Doug Ramsey was arrested Saturday after allegedly biting a man's nose in an Arkansas parking garage. Now, I know we can have some fun with this. By the way, my topic is similar to “Stupid cooking question: cutting cubed meat” and also “Word for Man-Loving” and now I can’t stop chuckling. ---

Nobody looks good in a mug shot, but one glance at that pic just screams “mean drunk”. Add in “newly rich” and you’ve got quite the recipe for bad decision-making. ---

What if the other guy said; “Bite me!”? Would it still count? Or what if he’s a vegan? ---

From the thread title I thought “Beyond Meat Coo” was a mild-mannered vegan rapper. Biters in general should be sentenced to extractions. ---

Anyone else parse this as the scots word [coo](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/coo#Scots) due to the lack of full capitalization in the title and think it was going to be some fun joke? ---

I misread this thread title as “Beyond Meat Coo” (like the Scottish or Northern English pronunciation of “cow”) and thought it was some cutesy name the company gave to the workers who make their product. ETA: @naita - yep. Me too. ---

Oh man, I goofed with the COO reference. Sorry for the confusion and I do hope the man who was bitten is not badly injured. I apologize for making light of it. I allowed my juvenile brain to be amused at beyond meat guy biting real meat. ---

It _is_ funny. Tragic-funny, but there’s a lot of that in this world. When we get so sensitivity-uptight that we can’t laugh at the funny parts, we’ve lost something very essentially human. ---

I also misread a line in the linked story to say that Ramsey was charged with “third-degree bitery”. The arresting officers definitely took a bite out of crime. ---

Was someone pulling into a parking spot that Ramsey wanted? Beause it sounds like a case of biting off one’s nose to fight for a space. ---

Here is the story from a [local FOX affiliate](https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2022/09/20/beyond-meat-coo-arrested-biting-nose-arkansas/10432656002/). They were running a commercial for cheeseburgers, “Beyond the Meat” when I connected. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/beyond-meat-coo-arrested-for-biting-a-mans-nose/971908.md?page=2)
