The head of Exxon Mobil’s (XOM.N) shale oil and gas business, a unit involved in merger talks with rival Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD.N), was arrested at a Texas hotel last week on a sexual assault charge, police said.

David Scott, an Exxon senior vice president who oversees all its shale oil and gas production business, was arrested early Thursday morning at a La Quinta Inn & Suites hotel in Magnolia, Texas, the Montgomery Sheriff’s Office said.

Efforts to reach Scott were unsuccessful. It was not immediately clear if he had legal representation.

    If only we could arrest people based on soulless, demonic gazes, this could’ve been avoided.

      I don’t agree with you, because that’s a terrifying precedent, but he looks exactly like I would imagine an Exxon executive would look.
