NEW YORK - A CNN reporter was arrested Friday in Central Park with a small amount of methamphetamine in his pocket, but he avoided jail time by agreeing to undergo drug counseling and therapy.

Richard Quest, 46, was arrested around 3:40 a.m. on a count of possession of a controlled substance — a misdemeanor that usually refers to a personal use amount of a drug. He was also charged with loitering; the park officially closes at 1 a.m.

When police saw and detained Quest, he told them, "I've got some meth in my pocket," according to the complaint filed in court. The complaint said he had a plastic sandwich bag containing methamphetamine in a jacket pocket.

Quest, who is British, is a correspondent for CNN International and is known for his reports on business travel. He hosts "CNN Business Traveler" and "Quest."

...CNN had no immediate comment on Quest's arrest.

I always thought it was hilarious that CNN had a science reporter named Miles O’Brien.

Bandit’s fate is unknown...

He had a brief career with the PDFA (Professional Dog Fighting Assn.) and is buried in Michael Vick's back yard......

When police saw and detained Quest, he told them, “I’ve got some meth in my pocket,”

Are they sure he didn’t actually say, “I’ve got thome meth in my pocket,” or “I’ve got some mess in my pocket”?
