Cannabis multistate operator MedMen Enterprises finished its exit from the Florida market, having closed the sale of its assets for $67 million, $16 million less than when the sale was announced in February.

According to a release, Los Angeles-headquartered MedMen sold all its Florida cannabis assets including its medical marijuana business license, seven dispensaries, cultivation operations and existing inventory to Green Sentry Holdings. Furthermore, the deal also calls for the licensing of MedMen trademarks in the state to Green Sentry, which is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The final transaction was for $63 million in cash and another $4 million in liabilities assumed by Green Sentry. The original deal called for Green Sentry to pay $83 million in cash for all of MedMen’s Florida assets. “The sale of MedMen’s Florida assets marks an important step in the company’s restructuring efforts designed to provide greater financial flexibility and a stronger, leaner operating structure and ultimately put us on a path to being EBITDA positive,” MedMen CEO Ed Record said in the release.

Beyond Meat exec accused of biting man’s nose outside Razorback game.

Beyond Meat exec Doug Ramsey accused of biting man’s nose in road rage attack outside college football game.

An executive of a vegan food products company has been charged with felony battery and making a terroristic threat after a fracas outside a football game in which he’s accused of biting a man’s nose, Arkansas officials said.

Beyond Meat Chief Operations Officer Doug Ramsey has been accused of a road rage attack outside Saturday’s game between the Arkansas Razorbacks and Missouri State Bears in Fayetteville, Arkansas, according to a police report obtained by Washington news.

The police report says the 53-year-old Fayetteville man attacked another man who tried to inch in front of him in a parking garage traffic lane and made contact with a wheel on Ramsey’s sport utility vehicle.

A police officer responding to the reported disturbance arrived to find « two males with bloody faces, » the report states.

After speaking with Ramsey, the other man and a witness, the officer determined that Ramsey had gotten out of his SUV and « punched through the back windshield » of the other car. The driver of the other vehicle said he emerged from his car and Ramsey « pulled him in close and started punching his body » and also « bit the owner’s nose, ripping the flesh on the tip of the nose, » the officer reported.

That man and the witness also reported hearing Ramsey « threaten to kill » the man.

Beyond Meat has not responded to messages from the station and The Associated Press seeking comment.

Ramsey joined Beyond Meat as its chief operating officer in December after spending 30 years at Tyson Foods.

« I am proud to join in its mission to produce delicious products that are healthier for our customers and more sustainable for our planet, » Ramsey said at the time of his appointment.
