Head of Exxon's shale oil business faces sexual assault charge in Texas
David Scott, 49, was arrested at a hotel in Magnolia, Texas. He oversees Exxon's shale oil and gas production business, a unit involved in merger talks with Pioneer Natural Resources.
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.

Rooms at the hotel cost about $120 a night.
You know, in case anyone's looking for a room. Thanks Reuters
Honestly though, why was he there? So many nicer hotels that an oil exec can afford
committing heinous crimes is probably easier, when you are not at risk of running into any of your high society aquaintances. Except the ones that are about to do the same as you, so you both have black mail material on each other.
Yeah, I was answering the other person as to why they included it. To make you assume that he was doing something horrific.
