Edsel Ford II, the great-grandson of the founder of Ford Motor Company, has been arrested on Monday on allegations of domestic abuse.
Edsel B. Ford II is currently a board member and consultant for the American automaker, but he would have been important just for being an heir to the founder of the company.
According to reports, the 67-year-old was held for one night in custody, after police officers were called to his house in Lakeshore Road, Michigan.
City prosecutor Robert Ihrie decided not to conduct legal proceedings against Edsel Ford II, as there was insufficient evidence against the great-grandson of Henry Ford, and his wife chose not to pursue charges.
The incident occurred on the 4 of July, at around 11:30 pm, and the spouse of the great-grandson of Henry Ford called the police after a domestic dispute.
According to Detroit Free Press, alcohol was involved in the incident, and only Mr. Ford and his wife were present on the estate.
Police found that no violence was involved, even though a “very minor” physical altercation happened, but it was in the form of hands placed on a person. Neither Edsel Ford II, nor his wife suffered injuries after the dispute.
Edsel Ford II has been working at his family’s company since 1974, and he has been on the board of directors since 1988. He is married to Cynthia Layne Neskow, with whom he has four sons, but their marriage went through a rough patch this year as they attempted to divorce, but both parties decided to reconcile. The great-grandson of Henry Ford has an office near the top of the company’s headquarters in Dearborn, and it includes the original wooden desk of the founder.
Ford representatives published a reply on the matter, and the Blue Oval’s representatives have explained that they are aware of reports in the press on the situation, but they felt it was inappropriate to comment on personal matters.
