Posted on Saturday, October 6, 2007
A former recruiting manager for Tyson Foods Inc. was convicted Friday of taking kickbacks in exchange for awarding contracts.
Ronald M. Shockley of Fayetteville pleaded guilty in U. S. District Court in Fayetteville to one count of mail fraud.
Prosecutors said Shockley collected kickbacks from 1999 to 2005 while recruiting workers for positions at Tyson plants.
Shockley collected kickbacks from two Dallas-based bus companies in exchange for giving them transportation contracts, court records show.
Shockley collected between $ 120, 000 and $ 200, 000 from El Conejo Bus Lines and Labala Tours, the records show.
He faces up to 20 years in prison and a $ 250, 000 fine. He will be sentenced after a pre-sentencing report is completed.
Tyson spokesman Gary Mickelson said the company cooperated with the government’s investigation and that Shockley was “released from employment” more than two years ago.
These are the people that should be fried IMO. They attract(monetarily) what I detest.
I thought Tyson’s ex-manager was dead. Oh! you’re not talking about Mike, I take it.
Chicken.
Buisness as usual for Tyson.
Remember Secretary Espy?

Remember that when you eat Tyson’s chicken fingers, you are really eating the fingers of Lupita, the line worker.
Of course the wife was Hillary and the governor was BJ Clinton!
Tyson Chickens, Arkansas and the Clintons — together with the Mena Airport Drug drops -— it’s all just one big criminal enterprise — and it’s coming back to the White House...
