The former General Counsel and Executive Vice President of PetIQ LLC has been handed a suspended jail sentence by a court in Idaho after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor domestic violence charge. His sentencing follows his arrest that occurred near Boise this summer.
Involved in the proceedings was the recent Ex-Executive of PetIQ LLC. PetIQ is a notable company known for providing vet-grade solutions to pet owners. The company’s goal, as stated on their website, is to make pet lives better by educating pet owners on the importance of veterinary care and providing quality pet products.
The suspended sentence means that the individual won’t serve prison time unless he violates the terms of his probation. If terms are broken, he could be incarcerated. Despite this legal setback, the enduring impact on his professional life remains to be seen.
Due to the nature of these criminal charges, it highlights the ongoing importance of corporations to enforce a high standard of ethical conduct from their employees, notably from those in executive roles.
