Toyota's newly-minted Chief Communications Officer, Julie Hamp, has been arrested for allegedly accepting a package of Oxycodone through the mail at the Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan that originated in the United States.
Hamp, who is the first female managing officer with Toyota, took the post in April after "Prime Minister Shinzo Abe … called on corporate Japan to appoint women to 30 percent of top jobs by 2020," reports Reuters.
Toyota has released a statement in Hamp's defence, saying, "Toyota has been made aware of Ms. Hamp's arrest, but has no further facts in light of the ongoing investigation by the authorities. We are confident, however, that once the investigation is complete, it will be revealed that there was no intention by Ms. Hamp to violate any law."
