Former Tyson Recruiting Manager Convicted In Kickback Scheme



A former recruiting manager for Tyson Foods Inc. could face up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine after he was convicted of accepting kickbacks for awarding contracts, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.

Prosecutors said Ronald M. Shockley of Fayetteville, Ark., collected kickbacks from 1999 to 2005 while recruiting workers for jobs at Tyson plants. Shockley pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud. He will be sentenced following the completion of a pre-sentencing report, according to the Democrat-Gazette.

A Tyson spokesman confirmed Shockley has not worked for the company for more than two years, the Democrat-Gazette reported.
