The plant-based burger replacement company is currently swimming in struggle sauce. Doug Ramsey, Beyond’s chief operating officer, has been suspended from the company after being arrested for allegedly biting a man’s nose in a brawl. Then there’s the food-disruptor’s deepening financial woes. Ramsey reportedly got into a dispute while driving outside a college football game in Fayetteville, Arkansas. According to the police report, the Beyond exec was upset when another car tried to merge into his lane. The police report claims that Ramsey exited his car, punched through the back windshield of the offending car, then—when the other driver exited their vehicle, Ramsey punched them multiple times.
