SAN FRANCISCO — A Mentor Graphics vice president has been arrested
for allegedly obtaining false hunting license and game tags, according
to a report published Thursday (July 28) in The Oregonian.
According to the report, Dennis Weldon, vice president of corporate
development and investor relations, was arrested by Oregon State Police
earlier in the month after police searched his home and found a number
of hunting license and game tags. The Oregonian said Weldon is accused
of applying for the licenses and tags in the name of relatives, one of
which is deceased.
The Portland, Ore.-based paper cited an application for a police
search warrant as saying Weldon also used his own name on some of the
licenses, but with a different birth date.
A spokesperson for Mentor Graphics said Friday that the company had
no comment on the report, other than that it was a matter for the
courts.
Weldon has held several senior level financial positions during his
tenure at Mentor. Prior to joining the company, Weldon worked at
Tektronix Corp. and two financial companies.
Mentor reported second quarter financial results Friday, posting a
net loss of $6.8 million on revenue of $154.8 million.
